Tell him to stop being a douche. If he continues, refuse to play with him.

Reason: He has the DM on his side. You lose by default.

This is an example of being an unhelpful Douche to a newcommer. 

Also, it violate the spirit of "don't tell people to be kicked out"

And finally, for a person who likes to endlessly spew crap at people this post is rudely brief.

Let's try again. I thought I was being rather clear as to why you should leave instead of kicking the other guy out, as Josh alleges. But people will read into things what they will.


The DM allowed him special privileges (that funny PrC, and allowing him to wipe the party, for instance). That means he is likely to rule in the guy's favour. You have two choices:

- Tell him to stop being an ass and you can both enjoy the game, or
- one of you (probably you, because of the DM thing above) can leave the game because you are no longer enjoying it.

Either way, what do the other people in the group think? If they are also dissatisfied with the current arrangement, it gives you more options.

Remember, life is too short to game with asshats.

If it is PvP, then you really asked for it. You basically gave him bragging rights for beating the tar out of you.

For casters, level 7 is a significant disadvantage when compared to a level 9. That might be the thing that needs to be looked at here.

Strategy-wise, the only thing I can think of off-hand is to be sneaky. Wildshape into an innocent animal form like a dog or something and hit him with indirect fire like Call Lightning. Just be sure he is not allowed to metagame.

The guy flies as a Su ability, AC. Flying won't help him. He will need to Hide in a high Dex animal form amongst the bushes and pray the other guy don't have a high Spot.

Perhaps I was unclear, this was an action as a moderator and is not a topic of debate.  If you would like to talk to me privately about it PM me.  Otherwise it is finished. 

Try to be less of a shit.

Again, PM me if you have a problem with my moderation.

And so you deleted a strategy and an ongoing discussion of another. Brilliant, Josh. Brilliant.

And someone wins a 1 day ban.  Such a shame.

Again, pm me if you have a moderation related problem, or PM Meg or another moderator.
