[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 3977780, member: 13892"] Sounds like your DM is a complete tool who is only concerned with realizing his own vision, to the point that he won't let the players do or try anything that may contradict it. Time to find a new DM, I say. You clearly aren't having any fun, and that's what I assume you're into roleplaying for in the first place. Right?
