[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 5599828, member: 73683"] This. Heck, if you end up deciding that this guy isn't worth maintaining a friendship with (and if I were in your position, I'd be giving that some [I]serious[/I] thought), point him in the direction of this thread so that he can hear what a bunch of uninvolved people familiar with the situation think of his decision to be insulted. If it were me, I would follow these steps: 1. Open up your PHB to page 219, your Heroes of the Fallen Lands to page 332, or your Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms to page 334. 2. Point to the "Sling" entry in the weapons chart. Make sure he reads that line. Especially the part where it deals more damage than you did. 3. Repeat after me: "That's a sling. It's a rock propelled at a target. It deals more damage and is more accurate than my character throwing a rock. You're being a total dick, you're berating someone for doing something that is reasonable, creative, intelligent, and [B][I]well within the rules[/I][/B]. You will kindly shut the hell up about what my character can and cannot do in the future. And you will send a sincere apology email for your behavior to everyone in our group - apologizing to me for your outrageous and insulting attitude, and to our group for inciting needless drama and wasting everyone's time." And, again, if none of this gets the point across, have him visit this thread. The player in question clearly has some behavioral issues - issues that make the game significantly less enjoyable for other players and create drama. This needs to be dealt with, because if it's not I can guarantee you that things will only get worse. [/QUOTE]
