[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1872492, member: 15711"] This would be one of those good reasons why I stop my campaigns when the party reaches 10th level, or so. There's too much details you have to start taking into account and challenging a party after 10th level becomes considerably harder. BTW: what if the Beholder wasn't shooting you with magical rays once its big eye had caught you in its Antimagic Field? What if they were psionic rays, which are unaffected by Antimagic Fields under the Psionics Are Different variant. Maybe the DM decided to make the encounter a little more interesting by changing the Beholders description a bit? As for the "robbing stuff off a statue", I can't explain it, but anything is possible in a world filled with magic ;). If you are otherwise enjoying yourself maybe you should give your DM a break and try to help him out in a way that doesn't hinder / slow the game? Like giving him advice, suggestions and opinions outside of the game, and just running with what you get when you are playing. Over time he will most likely get better, and that's a near certain fact. Bad-mouthing and second guessing his judgments all the time isn't going to help anyone. Well, except by putting someone else on the DM seat, and if that person isn't any more experienced as a DM than the last fellow then you have to start all over again...So, you probably see where I'm going with this?
