[QUOTE="EOL, post: 94236, member: 823"] I'm sure there are perfect DM's out there. I, however, am not one of them. I guess if I were to wax introspective for a moment I would say that in general I have too much of a tendency to railroad characters. I try and give them lots of options and go in whatever direction they want, but in my heart I've got this "story" in mind that I want to tell and I construct my adventures in such a way that it inevitably draws the characters along with the story. I guess I'm also too easy on the players. I generally don't like to kill them off (though I still do, plenty of times) and when they do die and get raised I have a house rule that they only lose a level for a while (until they perform a quest for the diety whose priest raised them). Okay enough self-deprecation, anybody else have a weakness as a DM, or if you're all perfect you can just be critical of my weaknesses... :) [/QUOTE]
