Wow, WTF happened? I didn't even get notified that people were still responding to this thread. I'm glad I came back and checked it out for myself. I've got this open in two windows so I'm going to do my best to reply to everyone.
@ PhaedrusXY -- lol I love when you put things into context like that. I can only imagine what kind of a DM you are, and what adventures you'd run. I say imagine loosely because reality kind of stomps it flat every now and again. I often wondered if Hercules ever got an anuerysm from his 12 trials.
@ Havok4 -- Thank you for remembering and pointing out the flaws of the wonderful DM, and his tactics of surrounding you at any given time. And of course this never happens with us when we're against him. Mostly because we're always outnumbered. But yes, it's true. Being a Scout, or anything that requires you to move X number of feet to get a bonus to damage, is a bad idea. The only character that's been able to pull that off is the red dragon, and ONLY because he flies. He's learned. Being grounded definitely has it's disadvantages.
@ KellKheraptis -- He lets the sorcerer get away with everything because HE is the sorcerer. It's an NPC. The rules don't really apply to him. Also, the warmage isn't recognized (he barely allowed the warblade), nor does the DM have a favourite city. If something's destroyed, it ripples and causes a butterfly effect that will come back to curse you later. Besides, even if he did let you use your warmage, you'd be dead in mere seconds if you were too powerful. The enemies tend to get "memos" in the mail with details of our powers and weaknesses, and how to bitch slap us. Usually it has to do with their numbers being 10 times ours, and casting 20 buffing spells on themselves before even coming out of the woodwork.
@ Generic_PC -- This is something Havok4 either missed, forgot, or hasn't seen yet. Dying is NOT an option. You can't die. There is no raise dead, resurrection, or anything like that. Why? It's unbalanced. ...Don't ask. I haven't figured that one out either. I only agreed to his banning polymorph and wild shape. But what's funny is that he has like 90 ways of bringing you back to life. With the red dragon, well he had a LA of earth elemental from daddy running through his viens. He "died", the crown of stone skin shattered, an earth elemental came out, and it bonded with the dragon giving him a forced LA level.
