If he feels threatened somehow it makes no sense.A ranger using two bastard swords is perfectly viable and I don't see how there is anything wrong with the concept. Why should he use anything bigger then daggers then if using a weapon that does good damage is power gaming? Shooting things to see if they are traps or enemies in disguise does not seem unreasonable to me either. Now if you are walking in a village and shooting every villager and basket and door of every hut, then there is a problem. But this DM seems to over exaggerate things and I think all that happened was that the warlock shot a couple statues to see if they were traps or enemies and he flipped out. ( much like the ranger example above).Trying to kill the ranger and being a non partial DM because the ranger is wielding two bastard swords looks like a severe fault in the DM's style of play, not the players. Just my opinion.The player in question who tried to reset their encounter powers in the middle of an encounter obviously didn't know what they were doing. And if the DM didn't know how to handle the situation that was both parties not having a clue.Abuse of the rules ( Melora's Tide, Light on an enemy) is a bad thing. Good use of rules ( dual wielding bastard swords) is not bad at all.A DM that abuses his power instead of staying impartial because a ranger decided to dual wield bastard swords should probably take a step back from the DM screen and re-evaluate his DM-ing style.</blockquote>
