[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 1560919, member: 11868"] That’s kind of what I do. I see what strengths people have, and try to run scenario’s where they get the opportunity to use them. The bard with his diplomacy, the gnome and his tinkering…etc, they all get the chance to show off their skills. In this case, Likuidice is playing a Dragonslayer… we’re playing in the Dragonlance setting, and there is plenty of opportunity to show off his dragonslaying abilities. Good to see you here, so you can have your say. It’s not the case of a having a niche. I have no problem with players playing their part of the party. The complaints are not because you outshine them but because your characters often get very (sometimes overly so) powerful, your cleric from the end of the last season, who was regularly pulling off over 100 points of damage with each hit, for example. You might say we play a simplistic game compared to the way the game is written or how the folks on here play, but it’s a level of game that the majority of the group prefers and enjoys. You don’t play that level of the game. You play the game as written, and see the rules as written in stone, which any DM will tell you, is not how it works. It wasn’t behind your back. I have tried on several occasions over the past year and a half to explain to you how the rest of us play. Some of the other players have tried to do so as well, but you refuse to see our point of view. There’s being good at fighting/spellcasting/whatever, but when you overshadow everyone else due to different styles then there is a problem. True, I shouldn’t force you to play down to our style but if it continues to cause friction within the group, then its not fair that the rest of us have to put up with it. I’m not being offensive there, but it simply comes down to the fact that we have a massive difference between our styles, and that you do not listen when we try to explain things or our side to you. The reason your current character is behind on damage dealing is because you have taken 3 classes and a PrC, but that doesn’t stop you pulling off some nice damage. Both K’aros (Minotaur Fighter/Barbarian) and Servos (Gnome Barbarian/Rogue) are only dual class. As the game goes along I fully expect your character to leap well ahead of them. Likuidice: How can it be talking behind your back when I have said exactly the same things to you as have been said to and by others in the group. Nothing has been kept from you. Even the posting of this thread was not kept from you. I am looking to find a way to fix the situation, without spoiling our friendship. If because of this, you do decide to leave the group I will gladly help you find another and/or start your own group. I would rather see you try and fit in, but I don't think that will happen.
