[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7543413, member: 6801228"] You are coming across as really judgemental here my friend. No one said anything about "making rules for the table". I'm talking about a new person seeing they have a combo at level one that does good damage. Then seeing another player get an entire class, but also get their combo. I can see someone getting upset at that. Maybe not upset at the other player, maybe they get upset at the warlock class. Why did they bother to make this warlock if their cool level 1 thing is getting stolen by someone else. A new player probably isn't looking at level two abilities. They probably don't have the grasp of the game to go through DPR over level analysis. They likely don't understand the rest paradigm and how that effects their usage of hex over a long adventuring day (and if they did they would probably see that at level one, that is very unlikely to afford them any advantages). They see someone doing the thing they were going to do, and having an entirely different set of things to do. You want to ban them from ever playing at your table because they got upset? Well, go ahead man, it's your table and your game. Sounds like you are in an environment where everyone learns DnD before they sit down to make characters. For myself, I'm teaching people DnD from the ground up. I'm not going to sour their impression of the game by dictating how they are allowed to feel about things and punishing them for coming to me with a problem instead of letting it fester and ruin their fun. Hope you have a great day and fun games. [/QUOTE]
