[QUOTE="DonaldRumsfeldsTofu, post: 1331125, member: 9008"] People who use the title "DM" to soothe their ego by making it an outlet for megalomania annoy me. As do people with the philosophy "The DM is always right". So someone corrects the DM on what die of damage a weapon does, or makes a suggestion for a house rule. Big Deal. That's what makes the game fun. Not to say that the DM can't alter rules and be the definite authority on calls, but the reason we're playing Dungeons and Dragons is because we like the rules to it, and if the DM doesn’t, he can change them. I’m glad I have two DMs who don’t mind being corrected and enjoy finding out what the Player’s Handbook has to say. The D20 rules are complicated, and players and DMs both mess up. If the DM says "I'm declaring that the Greataxe does a d10 instead of a d12", that's one thing. But the DM getting pissy because a player informs him that he made a mistake about the greataxe is another. [/QUOTE]
