[QUOTE="iamtheend, post: 5629773, member: 94031"] I am playing in a campaign and within my party there are 2 others. One is as experiences or a little bit less experienced than I am with D&D but the other one at least by what he says has been very experienced with D&D. At times we have to argue rules such as how a feat works and it usually turns out he is wrong. If I open up the book and show him it seems quite obvious he is annoyed with me. Other times I leave it alone and after our session it turns out he is completely wrong. The DM in this situation I feel is being taken advantage of sometimes due to the fact he is new to doing this and is still learning. We're playing a gestalt game which none of us knew the existence until about a year or so ago when this said player told us. So its strange that someone who originally mentioned this play style to us seems to either be confused on how it works or he is just cheating and thinks no one will notice. Here is what I'm talking about... Previously he was using "class features" that were game breaking and I confronted the DM about it. He remade his character for our next session which didn't include that "Class feature" anymore. Now it seems he is taking a prestige class as a normal class even without having the prerequisites. Like there is a chance that I don't know some minor detail but this player is willing to share his character with anyone but me. I like to have everyone in my party be as strong and as helpful to us as possible but I don't want someone being cheatingly godly and adjusting the CR to something everyone else can't handle. So what should I do? Should I be upfront and ask the player if there is a misunderstanding? Should I talk to the DM and suggest he take a better look at every player (even if he is not experiences enough)? Or should I allow this to go on? We rarely get to play and this player can hold any game session hostage because the DM feels he needs his expertise to play. So this can all backfire on me and ruin everything. Any advice? Anyone go through something similar? [/QUOTE]
