[QUOTE="Belbarrus, post: 1381780, member: 10962"] Here's some more: (To my current players, most of this does not apply to you guys, but more to my old gaming group LOL ) -Players that get all high and mighty to the point that they act arrogant and start talking down to powerful people like kings and nobles. Then whine about being arrested or punished. -Players who play criminal types (like rogues/thieves that actually steal from just anyone) and complain when their character is caught and punished. -Players that hold a grudge when another PC or an NPC correctly and justifiably chastises or confronts their character and the player goes on single minded "revenge" quest. -When a player misinterprets some text for a spell or feat that would give their character a lot of power, not realizing that the spell or feat couldnt possibly work that way *because* of the huge boost in power. (for example, there is a feat in some book that Sorcerers could take that will allow them to "prepare" some of their spells like a Wizard, instead of spontaneously casting them so they could make full use of Metamagic feats. A player assumed this meant that by taking this feat, his Sorcerer could "prepare spells as a Wizard" in ADDITION to his normal Sorceror spells, thereby getting gaining double the spellcasting ability. From one feat.) -Players who dont roll the dice in front of the DM, then get mad that the DM actually wants to "witness" the die roll. -Players that keep asking me what some spell/feat/rule does/is. I have to reply, "I dont memorize the books. Look it up!" -Players who dont appreciate when I as a DM try to put more flair into the game, or as a player I try to spice up what I do (Example, I say, "I draw forth colored sand and fling it at the monsters!", fellow player, "Oh, just say that you cast Color Spray already!")
