[QUOTE="RolandOfGilead, post: 1889483, member: 7140"] Ok guys, I just wanna run the situation by you and see if you think I was being obnoxious. Last night, our DM ran several scenarios by us, and at the end of the scenario, called me on my behavior. without further ado: We faced a Huge undead 4 legged beast. we are "Invisible to undead".. but it knows something is in the area. (its intelligent). it walks toward us, and our halfling uses his turn to kind of step between the party and the beasty hoping to give us time to get through a gate which the creature guards. the creature moves into his square because it cannot see him, and our DM says it automatically is going to "hit" the halfling. I say "It can't move into his square even if it cant see him, without doing an overrun (which would move him and not cause damage). Even if you said "its not doing an overrun, its stomping the square" the halfling is going to be afforded the chance to dodge by his AC and his miss chance. He basicly told me quiet, I know the rules. then stepped on our halfling. "But the halfling is 3 sizes smaller than the huge creature, it can even share its space and not get..." Later in the game, a Monster riding a nightmare was casting spells. I simply said "hey, concentration check!" and he said "nope, she doesnt need to make one." Then I brought out the old "even if its a spell like ability, it needs to make a check..." to which he said "Nope, not her. Trust me, I know the rules. Remember you're not playing with new people."... even if she has 20 ranks in ride, doesnt she have to make a check and fail only on a 1 on the die? I let it go at that because of his tone... Lastly, he tried the huge beast thing again. My monk had just jumpkicked his flying huge nightmare (cashemer or whatever) and landed below the nightmare and to the front. He said the nightmare was just going to land on me, a 2-16 ton creature falling 30 feet, no need to roll a hit, its in my space right? (see the above ruling on a huge creature and a halfling...) no save, no roll, just loads of damage. this time, I wouldnt sit still for it, I told him no way was that how the rule worked, and pulled out savage species which has a feat called "Crush" which WOULD suit the situation he wanted. On this, he relented, but at the end of the came, told me he didnt want me behaving like that... so was I a jerk? or just pleading my case? And reminding the DM of checks his NPC's have to make just like us PC's? [/QUOTE]
