[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5556287, member: 94022"] This is likely your problem. You've played for 3 months but are running 14th level characters. PCs and monsters get much more complex as you level up, particularly as you move up into a new tier. Did you start out at Paragon? If so this may have a lot to do with everyone's issues. Even experienced players may take a while to adjust to a paragon tier character if they didn't work him up from level 1. As the DM, this can be really hard too since your players have so many more options (especially control options) that if you are not prepared for them can make life difficult. Honestly, I would give some thought to starting a new campaign from level 1 or 2. This will help everybody out. A and B can get a better feel for their characters (including how they interact with player C). You can get a feel for the PCs as well and as they get more options and start throwing more things at you it will still be a little at a time so it will make it easier to adjust to. Just some food for thought. edit: Good points [MENTION=1958]matt[/MENTION]_James we too often focus on the other guys rather than looking in the mirror. Thanks for pointing it out. Deserves XP but alas, I must spread some XP lovin first. [/QUOTE]
