[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 108864, member: 2477"] [B] A balanced encounter would be CR3, since I'd say we're on the leading edge of our average. A CR one or two higher greatly increases the chance of character death, and in this case that DMG line was spot on. But, more importantly, the DM said it's MY fault for the death in a very public manner. She assign's foes likely to do serious damage to us, and the results of said damage are my fault? Perhaps I'm just bitter about her mismanagement of an ogre ambush that killed my PC before, but I've DMed plenty and it rubs me wrong. [/B] Oh, definetly, it's the dismissive attitude that irritated me though. The feat in question was Inscribe Rune, I'm not high enough level to get it for a while, and figured Rune's fit the feel of the tundra/ norse campaign better than potions. She dismissed it out of hand. The Domain's were Fate, Renewal and Retribution from the FRCS, and Force from Dragon if that matters. It was just as much because of the other allowed stuff as the stuff I wasn't allowed though. Including a reruling of a previous domain that I've had for the months I've been in this game so that it was suddenly useless. In any case, I think both mine and DocM's cases comes down to "you try to communicate with the DM, and he/she has already decided you're wrong". I try to discuss my problems with the DM/ GM, but a dismissive attitude irk's me to no end. [/QUOTE]
