I think you'll find that in the many examples on this thread of boring shut-down effects, one of the issues is that they shut you down, but rarely make the encounter particularly more challenging. You win in the end, sometimes easily. You just waste a lot of time doing it.I'd rather the challenge was upped without the frustrating parts.I mean, that's a solution, sure. I generally don't mind the characters having features that monsters lack. YMMV of course, but I think that monsters can be equally formidable without having to use the same abilities. For example, think of the size difference! As [USER=83242]@dave2008[/USER] and others have said - this dragon should be much more dangerous than it is simply because of how big it is. It's great that it also knows magic, but it should also swat PCs like they are fleas.Sure, and they shouldn't be added to with purposefully designed shut-down mechanics. You can get bored enough with a few bad rolls, or with slow other players taking long turns. You don't ALSO need to have your turn taken away.Yup. Thankfully.Yes, I meant to illustrate how it would make me feel not what I would actually do. I know how to "play nice with others" - it's what I consider the #1 rule. I was half-joking. I understand why that might not have come across. I often joke about "flipping the table" IRL - but it's not something that I'd actually DO!You'll have to take my word for it, I guess.Yeah, I've seen it happen. I've thrown people out, too. I think it's probable that when I find a certain type of behavior to be so far from what I'm really like, I callously joke about it as if everyone ought to know that it's an exaggeration. I did that here, and you're not to blame for not being "in" on the joke. I would not actually "flip the table" or "storm out". But I might joke about it to stop myself from actually doing it, if that makes sense.</blockquote>
