[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 6010099, member: 13732"] We are still playing and successfully defended Frank but I'm not going to continue with this thread. To sum up our last 3 sessions it goes like this: 1. We end up going to the castle, except for my character who stays in town for 1 day to craft a magic item. I was present at the session but my PC arrived after the battle with trolls and troll hound. This was a two hour battle of ridiculousness. I suspected the DM is pulling her punches or isn't aware of the rules or doesn't care or some combination of the above, but her daughter playing the barbarian also had something to do with the ridiculous battle. 2. Battle again, with my character present with a bigger troll and golem on bridge. Having watched the previous two hours of ridiculous I decided someone needed to be an advocate of the monsters so I pointed out whenever we provoked attacks of opportunity. My suspicions of pulling punches are heightened. The barbarian fell off the bridge and fell over the waterfall. No damage? To be fair nobody bothered to ask how high up the water fall is. 3rd session this Wednesday evening. We open the door to the castle and find a huge air elemental inside. Because it was huge I decided it would be too disruptive pointing out every attack of opportunity we provoke so I'm more passive as a monster advocate. We defeat it and then find the animated hooked object in the corner. The barbarian says "I wanna punch it" to which I said "you don't want to do that". Ordinarily she just looks sullen and decides to smack monsters with her weapon but this time she asked "Why not?" I answered "Because you'll do non-lethal damage". I didn't bother to point out provoking an attack of opportunity it would get for an unarmed attack. The guy playing the rogue, who's married to the DM and is the step-father of the girl playing the barbarian waves his hand and says "ignore him". And with that I leave this thread. I plan to play still, but at least I understand we aren't playing Pathfinder now. [/QUOTE]
