[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9233351, member: 6801228"] Seriously? Trust the DM who specifically went out of their way to take away an ability from a character, after agreeing to allow that ability? Who immediately made up justifications to prevent logical actions, just to prevent a character from doing what they were built to do? Guess what? I did allow the DM to make the rules. I played nice. I only pushed back the first time, because I thought he had forgotten the rule. But just because I allowed the DM to rule doesn't mean I agree with the rule, think it was right, or can't use it as an example of poor DMing. That isn't player entitlement. Just like it isn't player entitlement to get frustrated with that same DM, in that same game, who had our characters in a deadly situation against monsters with abilities we weren't informed of on a quest from some NPCs, and when the NPCs were confronted about why they let us go in with poor intel, claimed it was because we didn't ask for intel. Then, in the next fight, when my character [I]specifically[/I] asked [I]specific[/I] questions to those same NPCs about a life or death struggle and monster intel.... had the NPCs lie to us and put our lives in danger. Because they thought it would be funny. Not every time a player calls out a DM for doing a poor job, is it because that player is entitled and should just trust the DM. Sometimes, it's the DM.
