[QUOTE="Riveneye, post: 730768, member: 5153"] I think I've lost all faith in my DM now. My character, which I've crafted for over a year now, is utterly FUBAR. I can't play her anymore, and after this long, I certainly don't feel like starting a new character. This is the only group I know, so it looks like I won't even be able to play at all anymore. (Read the attached file for logs of what I'm talking about. My character is Silastriaqui and the DM is MilkChocolateMousje). I've put up with my DM's vague answers before, but when it leads to a death like this, I just have to put my foot down. First of all, he leads me to believe that I will never be able to reach the Scrying DC for the mirror, second of all, he never really tells me I'm out of haste on my boots, he just assumes I'll instantly know this when he says "nothing happens" in a previous battle. For all I know, there could have been an antimagic field there. Thirdly, he doesn't even let me go back to town, even though I (indirectly) said I would be going back. Now, I'm not the most knowledgable D&D player around. I'm not a complete n00b, but I certainly don't know as much as my DM, and he knows this. He should never have assumed thing like that. Also, he just happens to introduce a new 5000xp penalty o true resurrection the game before I died, which completley nerfs the spell, IMO. So here I am, resurrected with no items. The party agree to help me get them back. We spend 2 games doing so, and what happens? I get diddly squat. All but 4 of my items are apparently dissolved in digestive juices. These 4 items aren't even good items. Just have a look at what I lost... and this is only the major objects too. It's not limited to this list. ----------------- Boots of Springing and Striding and Speed Pearl of the Sirines Bracers of Archery Ring of Protection +1 Cloak of Resistance +1 Gloves of Dexterity +6 Buckler +3 Mighty Composite Longbow +2 (+3) Studded Leather +1 Flaming Falchion +1 Keen Throwing Returning Falchion +1 Mighty Composite Longbow (+2) Staff of Fire (lvl 8) ~5000gp in coins ----------------- Approx. value: 196320 The only good thing is that I am getting my armour and bow enchanted at the moment, so they were't eaten. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if I find out the enchanters had run off with them. If that's the case, add another 100000gp to the above figure. Sjeez, a newly created lvl 18 (which is what I am now) character would get more to spend that that. They get 440000 and I'm getting ~100000 - more than 4 times less.
