[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 2459794, member: 9037"] I could have started this thread. Lately I have dreaded game day. I spend the session bored out of my mind. The reasons. A: my character does not have anything to do. We are 17 level and I play a fighter in full plate I move 20. The monk and the druid take off get to the bad guys and start taking them down. Then the pally and scout get close enough to fire spells and arrows and finally I get closer enough to see that it is all over. Or we are fighting vampires and I have a cool flail that is a vampire's bane but before I even get to swing it Mr Pally who is a cleric too as well as some uber powerful prestige class turns undead and destroys the vampire before I can get near enough to swing at them. B: everything all the plot is about the paladin and his army and his stronghold and his goals. I feel that the rest of us are just glorified NPCs. C:Some of the players take forever trying to figure out our next move. It goes around and around and then we still don't have a very good plan. I just tune out after awhile. I could live with C if I was not already bored and frustrated out of my mind. [/QUOTE]
