(I hate having to say "okay, roll for..." It's supposed to be a story with a game attached to it.)Slow-combat DM's & players. I've seen all the solutions, most will not work for me. (When you have a player with an animal companion who likes to summon things, combat will take long.)Balance problems (when you have one party member with a Will save of +10 ... at 16th-level ... and another party with a Fortitude save of +29 from polymorph abuse...)Consistently coming up with "clever" solutions to combat which are, sometimes, not all that clever.(I say "sometimes". Nice to be surprised every once in a while.)Treasure - the amount of "magic item" balance is seriously driving me to D20 Modern. I hate playing Angband or Diablo when I'm really supposed to be playing DnD. Right now the XPH is pretty much all that's holding me in DnD. If I ever successfully convert the 3.5 psion to D20 Modern...Excessive powergaming. (Rarely a problem IMC, oddly enough, more of the "game balance" problems.)Too many freaking PrCs! (A lot are unbalanced, a lot aren't flavorful and should have been feats...)WotC not dealing with issues like PrCs, fighter feats, and Bluff/Diplomacy.Player perspective:Not being able to chatter <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Really, I'm contradicting myself.Starting at 1st-level (I like 3rd-level... you're still weak and have lots of levels to go without running the risk of losing yoru great character concept right off the bat.)I hate it when another player tells me I'm not playing my alignment, especially if it's "bad roleplaying". How often does a character's alignment show up in a movie? It's my problem. People's behavior (and that of character's) is too capricious to really tie them to any alignment anyway. And if I get less RP XP for that, I don't care.</blockquote>
