Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moff_Tarkin" data-source="post: 4525001" data-attributes="member: 14175">A couple of people have mentioned it was a stupid idea because it was meta-gaming. Even if it was, you could get away with calling a meta-gaming action cheating, cheese, rules raping, etc. But I don’t think it would necessarily be considered stupid.As for the DMs personal motivation for attacking me. Well, it’s kind of hard to explain.The guy is a World of Warcraft fanatic and I joke that he always uses aggro rules for his monsters. In the first round of combat, I was the first person to damage the Vrock. I rolled an 8 with my longbow damage, max damage, and did 2 points after the damage reduction.Even though I had no chance of really hurting him, he came at me. Taking attacks of opportunity and ignoring both the wizard with the fireball and magic missile wands, and the cleric who could cast align weapon so people could hurt him. Simply because I was the first person to do damage, I drew the aggro. I think he even said, “Ow, you do damage, so I’m going to get you”Another strange battle was the monster that required a fort save when he hit you. I can’t remember what the monster was, or what the save was for. Anyhow, he attacked each of the two party members on it and both made their saves. The creature then broke off, taking attacks of opportunity, to come after me. Since he had attacked the two people on him with no effect, he figured he couldn’t hurt them, and instead went after the guy over there who he hadn’t attacked yet. And as a fighter with Con., I had a better fort save then they did.</blockquote>
