Yes it was wrong to be skimming a book during the game, but it wasn't a offense worth running somebody out of the group over. My group is pretty lax with people missing but we try to always give ample notice, last minute ditching is a pain in the butt, of course it seems this wasn't something he did on a regular basis. A bad thing but not that bad.If a DM killed my character off while I wasn't there then I would quit the game right then and there. That's just vindictive and shallow behavior. Anything past that in this discussion becomes a mute point for me as from then on out it is obvious the DM was trying to make him leave, not run the game, not keep things exciting, but he had a vendetta against the player, that is just bad for a DM to do, I really don't care if he was chained to a wall for 5 hours or didn't get a share of the loot, the DM did these things to run the guy off not for gameplay purposes. He could of picked any character class and I bet the same things would of happened. I don't guess people agree with me on this one, I guess DM's killing off characters when the player isn't there is ok with people, it's these little nitpicky things that are important. The DM spent 5 hours ignoring the guys character, worked him in at the end (and screwed with him) then told him not to bother showing up the next week. Why was not getting a share of the treasure important? Would it of mattered if he had picked a better class? The DM hosed him and ran him off, heck he was probably mad you didn't get the point when he killed your character off. I'm sure there is more to this, it's just not a proper response to minor offenses, the DM had it out for the player, he was dropping some pretty big hints that you were not welcome in his game anymore, that's a big step from I was skimming a book. There is more than meets the eye here.</blockquote>
