[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 814210, member: 463"] I don't believe in power struggles - what the GM says, goes. Sometimes if I'm the player I don't like a GM's rulings. If it ruins the game for me, I can always leave, as has been said. I agree that DMs are not infallible - if I as DM misremember a rule or such, I don't mind a player correcting me. Eg in this instance it was perfectly reasonable IMO for the player to make sure the DM knew he had 'magic weapon' cast on his blade. The DM might have forgotten. That's quite different from saying that the DM isn't entitled to knowingly change the rules, though. In this instance the rule change was a specific one re lycanthropes, something the PCs reasonably might not have known about. If I changed the rules for Magic Weapon & GMW spells so they no longer overcame DR, I would tell the players. If I changed lycanthropes (only) so that their DR was only overcomable by silver or (say) +3 weapons, I wouldn't tell the players unless their PCs would logically know this. Of course I'd boost the lycanthropes' CR a reasonable amount, for wererats +1 would probably be enough since silver weapons are usually easy enough to get. [/QUOTE]
