[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6399825, member: 82746"] now you see here is a great example... lets say you sat at a FLGS to run your world every Wednesday night... I came by and said "Cool is there an open seat for a player" and you said sure and gave me a brief bit of this and I asked if I could be a warlock, and you said "Not this time, but if you become a regular maybe next campaign" that is even a compromise... but "I don't ever allow those" isn't especially if you went on to say that about a large % of the classes since I'm the one pushing compromise I have to say I think that is a very jaded way of looking at it... give and take until BOTH parties are happy is compromise... give and take until both are miserable, that is just a waste of time. Of course compromise can't always be reatched, but some people seem to not want to even entertain the idea... like if they gave an inch anywhere it would be the worst thing ever. There are times you can't reach a compromise, but very few times you can't atleast try first.. and isn't really a compromise... see above. there are times you have to say no, there are even times that it means a player will need to walk. However again I'm not saying everytime it happens... just for god sake try to talk to the person... I have seen that, but I also have seen DMs who said No psionics ever be shown it isn't that bad, and then continue on for years not having a problem with psionics... ok that was 1 DM... I'm not sure I get why it would piss you off... as I said at the time, if I pitched a fighter/cleric he would be fine with it, but because it was my back up way to play a holy knight he flipped... it is kinda the whole reason his game fell apart he could never be reasoned with at all. Me showing that his problem with Paliden was not really a problem with paliden the class (or else the fighter/cleric would be fine) was the final straw. If he just said no fighter cleric and I just was a cleric of war with plate a sword and sheidl would that also be wrong? I just don't get it when I say compromise I mean settle a dispute by mutual concession."in the end we compromised and deferred the issue" [TABLE="class: vk_tbl vk_gy"][TR][TD="class: lr_dct_nyms_ttl"]synonyms:[/TD][TD]meet each other halfway, come to an understanding, make a deal, make concessions, find a happy medium, strike a balance; give and take [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
