[QUOTE="Bran Mak Morn, post: 4342552, member: 60915"] Hi there, obviously it is possible to speak with the player and YES it is the first thing to do. MAYBE. I've been at the 4th Edition launch in Italy and there I've met some of the (archetype) players I'm referring to. People who cast Eldritch Blast on every sinlge statue, furniture and corridor they see just to be sure they'll not lose some hp in the way, who ask the DM: "When does an encounter finish?" "Well, let's say if there's at least 1 non combat round" "Ok then, what if I stun all the monsters and then I wait one round? Do I get my encounter powers back?", who don't give a s+++t if they use a rule for a purpose that was obviously not forseen by the Manual and that give some kind of odd result, perfectly consistent with the rules but not with reality. Yes I'm talking about the twin bastard swords and the ranger. The ranger? he shouldn't even know what a bastard sword is! Anyway, don't want to bother you guys, but as long as I agree that the DM stuff is to keep things funny and enjoying, the LONG preparation, the efforts, the study beyond the 5 hours session should be repaid by players too.
