[QUOTE="Sorrowdusk, post: 5439045, member: 96342"] Whats his experience? Overly cautious players has come up before, some people get used to playing under killer DMs where basically things like searching every 5ft square for traps is the only way to stay survive the DM wants to kill them at every possible chance. He's your friend you[I] talk to him[/I]. 27 rounds? DAM. Long combat. Well, Monks CAN tank. But you have to actually draw aggro or look like a threat. BUT...did you tell him it had 1hp? He wouldnt necessarily know, although depending on what you're up against fighting all out to kill something as fast as possible may be the better "defense". Many players do this (although best done before game). I dont care what staticians tell you, if a die is only rolling average results its [I]depleted[/I]. BUT HE DID get the player to safety right? How did he/the others feel about it afterward? I have seen some similar people, some people will even roll to determine how their character feels about something. In any case-isnt he free to cast spells or use weapons as he wants to? Even...randomly? [qoute[He makes comments like his character has plans to wipe the entire group and "jokes" about how he's going to kill each one.[/quote] Be real. You KNOW him. Do you really think he can kill the entire party given how cautious he is even when he's not in danger, let alone outnumbered? :p [qupte]Last week, when his character died, he calmly suggested we scrap the entire campaign story, and possibly scrap my world I've had going for 15 years, because he didn't care for the story or any of the other players' characters.
