oh, i completely agree slash,
when i questioned the dm about how a 4thlevel rogue can have 10 ranks in anything he had no response.
he constantly bends the rules for certain players.
in one of our sessions this rogue does nothing but,"i'm hiding,i rolled a 25 no one see's me", when i asked him how he knew he was hiding he said "i rolled a 25". the dm just nodded.
another time when my character, (dwarf cleric of moradin) was discussing with another player how we can best fit in a particular battle, he looks to the rogue and says, "gee, i didn't know table talk was allowed?" i bit my tongue but, on every ruling he made i stopped what i was doing and cracked the books just to annoy him, it worked. maybe i answered my own question....i need a new group.
