[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1659369, member: 9646"] Anyone has the right to play exactly as he wants, and I had also the right to say I was displeased with that kind of gaming. And now, I won't play anymore like this. Maybe I wouldn't like to play with you, I don't know... but I hope you don't play like this: [B]ENCOUNTER SO FAR:[/B] 3 goblins have slain our 7th level priest with 2 poisoned arrows that deal 60 points of damage on a failed saving throw. [B]PLAYER:[/B] Okay, I charge with my lance, one of the three goblins. [B]DM:[/B] Huh... the goblins are riding worgs (we, players, learn it right now). [B]PLAYER:[/B] Can you put minis of the goblins riders on the board so I can see what's happening? [B]DM:[/B] No, no need for that, roll for your attack. [B]PLAYER:[/B] Natural 1, I miss. [B]DM:[/B] Okay, now the three goblins on their worgs are running fast in circles around you and fire arrows. [B]PLAYER:[/B] How does that happen? What's the speed of worgs? My own horse is still running at full speed from the charge! Well, lets put minis on the board to run this battle properly! [B]DM:[/B] You are hit, one goblin made a critical hit, so now you cannot anymore use your left arm. [B]PLAYER:[/B] (who hasn't heard any dice rolled) But you don't even know my character's AC!! (and we don't even mention things like confirming a "threat" to make a critical hit). [B]DM:[/B] Your character (12th level templar) is not invincible! [B]PLAYER:[/B] (becoming angry at how things are handled) Okay I immediately cast cure-light-wounds on my arm (rolls a 6+5), so now I can use it again. [B]DM:[/B] No you can't, it's not normal damage! At that point, I decided the game was over for me... If per chance some comic books' artist read that and wants to use it for a strip, I would be glad to let him use the anecdote. Unfortunately it wouldn't look credible in a comic-strip (even a comical one). [/QUOTE]
