[QUOTE="iamtheend, post: 5630739, member: 94031"] The DM we have is having his first time and isn't the one that slaughtered us all. Main point about all of this is that it seems he feels dependent on the player who maybe cheating. So if conflict happens and he leaves then we might not play at all. Example of how the rules are all loosey goosey with this "experienced player" he had a Longbow that was also a quarterstaff which is okay with me and I know it exists and I think its a cool weapon. He then while being threatened makes a ranged attack. I bring up that he is invoking an AOO from the enemy right in front of him. He insists that since the bow is also a quarterstaff he doesn't. I look at the DM and he has absolutely nothing to say about it and leave it at that. If I can have a strong party to stay alive and have fun then that's okay with me. Aside from the DM might having to make things harder for those who are not cheating I am mostly upset that he is thinking he can get away with it and knowingly taking advantage of the DMs trust. I always consider maybe I am the one with the misunderstanding though. Just when I casually ask to know more about his character he tells me that my character doesn't know the details of him as if its protecting the spirit of the game. I don't want to be some douchebag that goes on a crusade to prove he is wrong and assert that he plays correctly OR ELSE but I don't want him to continue going crazy. I think I'm going to talk to the DM one more time and if I don't feel satisfied call the player out right before we start playing to put him in the hot seat. [/QUOTE]
