[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 7720871, member: 46713"] Exactly: there were no rules, therefore you were at the mercy of your DM. Even in the Pathfinder campaign, I'm currently playing in, I've encountered that problem: Our DM is quite inexperienced and tends to be _very_ unflexible. In one session he complained when I wanted my character to move off the battle-map. "You can't." was about all he had as an argument. And when I wanted to balance on the rim of a well during a fight, at first he didn't even get what I was trying to do, and only after I showed him that were actually rules that explicity covered this very situation, did he allow it. I find it particularly annoying because when I'm DMing, I tend to be very lenient and try to encourage my players to think out-of-the-box and experiment with unorthodox tactics. But I have a few decades of experience under my belt and rarely find it difficult to come up with reasonable rules on the fly. [/QUOTE]
