[QUOTE="Woas, post: 1538240, member: 16317"] My pet peeves: *Players who use Greatswords with the arguement of: "well, my character would know that it could do more damage with a greatsword. I mean, if you put a 9mm Pistol next to a Self-Propelled Grenade Launcher and you wanted to do the most damage, you'd pick the Grenade Launcher. I mean, its just common sense. My character knows Greatswords are the best melee weapon for damamge." *DMs who get to attached to their Homebrew that they keep it all in a lock box and if you try to explore in it, your are bluntly told by a building growing a huge fist and punching you for 3d6 damage to stop exploring and not to poke around. That was a true story of course. *Players who cannot... nor try to, play any character (both alignment and mentality wise) other than themselves. Their arguement is "well, Neutral Good is boring to me. I wanna play Chaotic Neutral cause thats what I am. I wouldn't have fun as Neutral Good and thats the point of the game, to have fun right?" ........grrrrr *Players (and sometimes DMs) who always take a negative stance with every NPC they come across. Example: "DM: You enter the grand chamber of the wizards tower, you see an old man working in the corner at what looks to be like a laboratory set up. He does not notice you." "PC: Hey you! Tell us where we can raise our dead friend! We were sent here to find something that can let us do it!" "DM as wizard: The wizard looks over to you kind with a shocked look on his face and says, "What?! Do you not understand that you are all trespassers on private property, extremely rude, and I could probably kill all of you with a wave of my hand?! This is my F'n house for crying out loud! Not a dungeon filled with monsters for your pleasure! NOW GET OUT! AND I HOPE YOUR FRIEND NEVER COMES BACK AGAIN!" .."Maybe if you were nicer next time, you'd actually be able to finish some quests!"
