[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 172769, member: 3619"] So let me get this straight. . . 2 year's & you've only gained 7 lvl's. That's insane!!!!! And boring!?!?!? Yes it is the "Right" of your DM to work XP however he see's fit, however as players if you all don't like the way he's doing something it is your right to protest. If he doesn't like your opinions as player's, then you don't have to play. It sounds like your DM has taken on to many players at once and can't handle you all properly and as such he has dropped your XP to slow your advancement & make it easier on himself. do you realise that you are averaging 1 level advancement every 92 hours of game of game play. 3 sessions per month X 9 hours (average you said 8 to 10) per session X 12 months a year X 2 years = 648 hours of game play / 7 lvl's = 92.57142857 hours per lvl That's 1 lvl (aprox) every 10 sessions, or 3 months in your case. Of course I realise that this is distorted way of looking at the average hr's/Lvl, but you get the point. That number is only going to get worse the higher you lvl's get. Even if your game involves HEAVY roll playing this is wrong. Your DM should be compensating you all accordingly Your situation is a sad, sad, sad thing. I wish you lived close to me so I could invite you to play with my group. Life is to short to only have played 1 D&D character. "So this is what it sounds like when doves cry" :D [/QUOTE]
