[QUOTE="Felnar, post: 3765451, member: 30971"] this is very unlike a friend. he agreed to help, so unless it was part of some elaborate backstab plot, he shouldnt have switched sides. i wouldnt have a problem with him retreating from overwhelming odds tho. but to switch sides is too much. talk to the player about your concerns so hopefully it wont happen again to your next character with more specifics, it feels like the scout was played poorly. i'd be frustrated too. since you like "eastern" classes, maybe make a ronin type (for some melee staying power on the team) and try out true neutral or CE alignment (to fit with the others). Do not try for any type of revenge on the scout, its very bad for group dynamics. in your initial post you said they were axes, and its plausible to take axes to a fight (even tho they also had longswords). but taking large saws to a fight? that feels like DM metagaming to foil your plan. also, your group uses the time rules for donning armor, but did the guards spend 4 minutes putting on breastplates? was the full barracks of guards ready and waiting for the attack? maybe you should talk to your DM about railroading the encounter. goodluck [/QUOTE]
