[QUOTE="Anubis the Doomseer, post: 1289125, member: 12455"] I used to be that way until I played with a DM who did this and we caught him altering the target numbers based on how much he liked (personally) the player in question. Fudging for story I can see - but adding +4 or more to the AC, DC or the saving throw of the creature just because it's Fred's mage (and Fred annoys you for some strange reason) who's casting the spell is not only unfair it's stupid - especially when someone else with the same mechanical stats rolled the same thing and succeeded. Last session the same DM decided that the mage needed to make a ranged touch attack to place his fireball, citing the "through an arrow slit" example. The "slit" he was aiming at was 15ft wide by 25+ft tall and had a dragon on the other side. Archers had no problem making attacks (despite the fact that if this were an arrow slit situation, they would be missing due to the cover bonus to AC). [/QUOTE]
