Have examples and try and keep I statements instead of saying you were say I was. This wahy the DM does not feel attacked. Also I thinks it helps the other person see that you want to fix the problem not lay blame.I also think you should talk to the other players see if they have a problem because sometimes the problem you see may not really be the way you see it. For example you may feel that the DM is making encounters all the time that your character cannot particpate in fully that is your perception. But another person may see it differently and can point out all the times that you character did have the chance to shine. Sometimes you are to close to the problem to see it clearly.In the end it comes down to being an adult if the problems can not be fixed so that you can enjoy the game then the adult thing to do is to gracefully leave.I had to do that in the Eberron game I played in. My character was not getting any magic items because the party rogue and druid were stealing them and of course we were never allowed to make a spot check because that would be metagaming. What items they could not use they secretly sold and kept the money for themselves. I talked to the DM and pointed out that as a party we were not even that the two players weath and migic items were higher than for their level and that the rst of us were lower than where we should be at our level.I also tried talking to the players and pointing out that when the rst of us found out what was going on there was going to be trouble. The final straw for me was when I realized that the DM didn't care about my fun at all. I had this fantastic bow that did extra damage against elves. In over a year of play time I never encountered one elf until we went up against these drow. We had battled our way through this dungeon and the DM knew I had only two arrows left. I had many shot and I fired both arrows at the one drow cleric. I rolled two natural 20s and then confirmed that crit on both arrows. I rolled this huge amount of damage. I could feel myself grinning like a fool. After a year I finally got the chance to do something cool.Umm no. The cleric had some magic item that protected him from arrows. I talked to the DM after the session and he was like well I am sorry but I planned for that cleric to have this magic item if you had attacked one of the others it would have worked. He really could not understand why I was unhappy. So I left the game. I told the DM that I felt that our playstyles were not in synch and I stayed long enough to let him write out my character.</blockquote>
