Message: <blockquote data-quote="avendeen" data-source="post: 900967" data-attributes="member: 11218">It's easy to preserve yourself and hard not to kill someone for preserving him or herI am the Pyschic Warrior.I have truly enjoyed reading the wide array of ideas concerning our reluctant druid.  I would like to tell you of the particular incident that sparked the great debate.We were in a large room with what appeared to be a glass hemisphere about 6 to 10 feet in diameter (the size of a small room). Inside this glass hemisphere were five drow socerers. The sorcerers where casting spells through the hemisphere. When a spell hits the hemisphere it multiplies (1 spell for each person outside of the hemisphere). We were bombarded by spell after spell. The DM asked for a condition check (which means how do we look because we don't reveal our number of hp left). I said barely standing (I was more injured than everyone else because I took a risk and walked through a room with a swirling mass of bones and found the path to our enemies). The Druid went next. He cast Barkskin on himself. Barkskin. Every hit point lost by our group was from damaging spells. Barkskin had no use and no purpose. I died shortly after.I believe that the druid should be allowed to play his character anyway he wants, but playing my character is a lot harder. I play my character as a diplomatic person who shows great restraint and tries to keep his opinion to himself. He is a former guard in a city frequented by the group and his parents were high ranking guards in the same city. He also lawful neutral but would be described better as true lawful. I make difficult and dangerous decisions when playing my character, often going against what I would really like him to do (like execute drow prisoners, lie to people, survive, increase in power, etc)\Is the game about obtaining power and advancing in level or is it about roleplaying? Think about it. Every time I die I lose xp. The Druid lives on and increases in power. Shouldn't I get a lot more XPs for REALLY playing my character. Doesn't the Druid's easier advancement make the game unbalanced for a player like me?</blockquote>
