[QUOTE="Dross, post: 3765751, member: 33802"] I wonder of you noticed these tricks as a player? To unfairly casts aspersions that may not be there, they could be taking advantage of things with a "new" DM...... Here are some Q's to ask: The general power level of the game. This could be the reason for the "more than DMG $$ limit" that they seem to have. Are there house rules that you do not know about? I joined a group that had several homebrew feats and rules which made my pure fighter PC almost less capable than a psion in melee combat. This goes to the wand Q as well. Are you sure it was a wand and not a staff or something else? irdeggman has the appropriate rules for wands. What the %&$^ is an Artificer? ;) You do need to read up on this. Or conversley, take the player's word, use an Artificer classed foe and hit them with the same thing and see what happends :] (warning: it may not be pretty though). Same for psionics. Given that the DC for spells and psionics (at least I beleive) should be roughly the same, 28 does seem high. As a DM you should have permision to look at the player's sheets, if only to be able to provide some specific challangers to the PCs. It is quite possible with house rules, meshed with third party books and maybe some selective reading. They might be using agreed rules that you are not aware of, or they may be abusing you newness to DMing and their group. Find out. [/QUOTE]
