[QUOTE="JediJake, post: 5052024, member: 85153"] For the last session of our game I feel I owe you players a small apology, especially Gabe so here goes. I'm sorry for the following reasons. I was a little more than tired, and did not fully understand the ramifications of Shardus' power, or appreciate how much fatigue affected my mood and judgement. That said I would ask you gentle players for a favor in the future. Please stop assuming I'm trying to screw you over when I throw a difficult door, or Sith Lord at you. I'm just trying to challenge you and make it fun for me. Sometimes things are just beyond your control, and dealing with them is what makes the session interesting(to me). For example, when Verda shot the ship Sarro was in and failed to realize that Shardus was under it as he was over it. This caused a much larger foul smell than I had anticipated, when Shardus' himself half expected it, and cited that he did not metagame as his reasoning for not crying out. I understand not having things go the way you thought they would agitate you, and that accidentally shooting a teammate would be bad. But please keep in mind I'm not trying to screw you guys over. I will illustrate this with anecdotes. I once played an epic frenzied berserker ubercharger that dealt 66d6+934 per attack(8 of them), with a plus 86 to hit, and healing over 500 of his 1500 hit points every attack. The dm had no problems with this character, it was one of up to 9 others that where crazy in their own right. He however found this character an obstacle to over come every session. I told you that to tell you this. I am in the same boat he was in at level 3 instead of thirty three. He overcame it with trickery, guile, a few deities, letting the dice fall where they may, and challenging me as a role player. And it was probably the most fun I have ever had as a player.
