Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kae'Yoss" data-source="post: 1044843" data-attributes="member: 4134">I always make sure that I have a means to shatter a game, at least with some DMs (Either a combination of spells I could prepare and cast anythime, or some feats or magic Items I could get on short notice, which make the character go from reasonable to beyond-powergamer). So if they mess it up, using very stupid rules or judgement calls, I wake the sleeping munchkin und have my fun. Right at the moment I play a rogue which I really enjoy, but the DM's a bit weird and has made some really weird statements or judgement calls. I almost expect him to make a real big screw-up any time now, and for that case I can become a damage-monster quick enough. Luckily, the mistakes he made so far were either small enough or we could talk sense into him, but it might not be next time.His atrocities (though no rules-lawyering) included<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Having a team of horses (including carriage) being swept away by a sream that went to our knees and gave us no problems in the least (we actually searched a good spot for crossing it, but all of a sudden the horses were swept away)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The 2nd Level Rogue with superior initiative (well, sort of: he stood before a window - with several weapons, including the bow of my dex 19 or so elven ranger, trained on him, and he got away before we had the chance to attack, without us having had the chance to roll initiative)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">He wanted everyone of us take a level of rogue as we entered a guild (we talked him into just taking a couple of ranks in skills they want us to have), which wouldn't have fit in most character concepts, and would have delayed entry into PrCs, and multiclassing XP, for the rest.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">He charged us with improving our influence by winning a chariot race (none of us has the least ability with horses), and of course the racetrack was completely covered in anti-magic fields (and my character was a fey'ri with the imperative to let noone see his true identity - which is kind of problematic on an antimagic field, especially if they expect a casually clad gold elf).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We were attacked by a town guard for leveling a goblin village, because "they were valuable trading partners". Of course, noone told us something like that.</li> </ul></blockquote>
