[QUOTE="ShadowRaven, post: 2887782, member: 28569"] Okay Shadowslayer. I see where you're comeing from. Also I don't mean this as anything against you, for the most part I agree with what you're saying, however, in the sake of being as helpful as possible to the OP I'm gonna run with what you're saying. Hope ya don't mind, and if you do...well fell free to yell at me. :D Now, because neither of us where there, the tantrum point is really well, moot. Did he, did he not? doesn't matter really. What he didn't do though, was the few basic things the DM asked for, and did some things to get his way. Sure, it turned out fun, and his character proved to be valuable. The question though is, could he not have done that by going core? The rest of the group did. It may not have been quite what they wanted to do, but they atleast complied. When dealing with a new and inexperienced DM, that's probably the best. See, from where I am standing it doesn't look like an ego issue at all. Nor is it a matter of the DM trying to test out his authority. It's a matter of a lack of experience on one part, and an either inability, or unwillingness to compromise on another. I mean, it doesn't sound like the 'offending' player is a munchkin or whatever you want to call him. Just sounds like he doesn't want to adjust to something. Of course I could be wrong, it has been known to happen from time to time. Still, like you said the game is about co-operation. However co-operation also means compromiseing at times. The OP did some compromiseing himself, turned out good. Still now he's left with the question of 'how much do I need to give, and how much should I expect others to give?' So here I ask, what advice would you give? [/QUOTE]
