[QUOTE="omedon, post: 71046, member: 837"] That is fine. Roleplaying your character is fine. But you have to accept the consequences. If you have a thief that is a compulsive pickpocket you shouldn't complain when he is caught pick pocketing an important noble that he is punished under the full force of the law and has his hand cut off. You can't expect the DM to make special exceptions all the time just for you. Sometimes a characters concept is going to get him into trouble. Also from what I have read on the board there numerous ways that you could have defeated the dungeon ie. resting before pressing button. So this module it would appear, isn't too powerful for 1st level characters. If it was too powerful it would be impossible, or ridiculously hard (for example, you need to get all crit threts to hit the opponent or they need all crit misses in order not to hit you), no matter what your tactics. It sounds like a lot of things were going against you in this battle, like the critical misses and the lack of knowledge about magic weapons. Some times the dice just don't roll in your favour and there is nothing you can do about it. If there was never any threat of the party being wiped out gaming wouldn't be fun. I liked your "magic spear" tactic though. Very good thinking. Too bad it didn't work out for you. [/QUOTE]
