And then I would have narrated him waking up the next morning with a drag queen. An ugly drag queen."Well, s/he's very charming. Charisma isn't just about looks you know." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Well, I have a story about the only player who's ever really ticked me off. I had forgotten about him in Kzach's thread, but the reason he was so annoying was mostly a severe learning handicap, so I don't think it counts toward any "Players are whiny babies" sentiments.Anyway, one of the things this kid did was complain that my flying mount house rules didn't let his nightmare shoot fireballs. I didn't want mount options to be as complex as PC options, so it was basically a "Here's a mount that can fly; describe it however you want" situation. But no, that wasn't good enough for him -- he complained repeatedly that my mounts are boring and that the whole point of D&D is to individualize your character [with powers and feats and whatnot]. He even brought 3e into his argument, which he had never played, in some kind of attempt to convince me that my mount rules needed powers and whatnot.I'm still kicking myself for not just telling him "Look dude, it's either boring mounts or no mounts. When you run a campaign, you can make mount rules as interesting as you want." I hate thinking of the right thing to say after the time to say it has passed. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /></blockquote>
