Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 1572092" data-attributes="member: 2002">Not so much lame as in mundane, but lame as in bad Dming.I join the campaign-in-progress with a Bard 6/Cleric 3.  On my third session, we're in a big battle in a city.  My character is on a rooftop, moving back and forth, firing spells and arrows at the bad guys, who can't see me most of the time.  Bad guy Wizard, much higher level that we could handle (hallmark of this DM) casts a Evard's Black Tentacles on the corner of the roof right where I am at, although he cannot see me or possibly know that I am there.  All tentacles hit me, dead in one round.I ask the DM how the guy knew where I was.  He points at an NPC about 100 yards in the other direction and says that he told the Wizard.  Yeah, sure ....how did he do that???  Freaking sign language?!?!?Same DM, next campaign.  Our party is walking through tunnels, arguing about how to approach bad guys.  Bad guys hear us and come to us.  We decide to turn around and head out.  Instead of simply turning around and moving out, idiot DM has the entire marching order re-assemble in the opposite direction.  Not only that, but my 5th level Cleric is now 15-20' behind the next character, pretty much trapped on his own as the enemy comes at us from multiple sides.Round 1, I have low initiative.  9th level Grappling Optimized Fighter in Bladed Armor grapples my character and puts him down to 4 hit points.  I then try to escape.  I roll 16 +8 = 24.  He rolls 11 +14 = 25.  No go.  Round 2 I am reduced to -12 hitpoints and killed.  Evil Idiot DM blames me for not doing better in the fight...  Oh yeah, my 5th level Cleric can easily handle an optimized 9th level grappler.  What are you smoking???I quit that game group shortly thereafter.</blockquote>
