[QUOTE="Xanterith, post: 3200028, member: 47264"] [b]?[/b] My first question is how did you know it was a 9 die fireball - as a DM I would require at the LEAST a spellcheck roll to determine how powerfull the fireball was and would not roll it out in the open. Sounds to me like the DM was just showing off....lame. 9th level spellcaster with 3rd level fighters...that's like a 9th grader playing football with a bunch of 3rd graders. OH WOW MR DM'S YOUR PC'S ARE TEH AWESOMEST! I seriously would have killed him and taken his stuff. Get all the fighters on him then either trip or grapple till he's down/grabbed and have everyone else beat the crap out of him. If you die, oh well no harm lost because you are probably going to want to leave the campaign anyway. Now if the DM is using him as a plot device, why have him blow up the barrels? What's the point of that? That to me is just rubbing it in the PC's face that you are in charge, and all their good ideas are there to further you own meglomaniacal goals. [/QUOTE]
