anotherhaloguy (01/03/2016) [-] The annoying thing when I play D&D is the fact our campaigns are never completed, because our DM makes it his goal to murder us; not just slightly but massively obvious
I'm talking like; insta decapitation by an enemy that was too high level but we couldn't avoid or run from.
Its annoying when you die to something you couldn't fight in the first place, that the DM just hurdled at you with little justification

I don't usually try to kill my players, but during a Pathfinder scenario I was running, my group had to try and question a gentleman who was in charge of "The Forge", a place that he basically created a bunch of magical golems. In fact, he had Iron Golems as guards to keep out anyone he didn't want to talk to. All my players were level 1 and I thought that this seemed like a good deterrent from seeking the NPC here and instead search elsewhere in the city.
I was wrong.
Our magus decided that there was enough talk and through out an acid splash at one of the golems (A piddling 1d3 damage). Naturally it bounced right off. The golems advanced and made it quite clear that he should back off. *Acid Splash* The golems stomp right up and tower over him by a good 7 feet. *Acid Splash* I rolled the attack and damage. Even with non-lethal, he was paste.
mfw he told me that he thought the golems would be killable or they wouldn't be in the scenario.

Didn't stop him spawning a 7 foot tall Demon infront of us that decapitated my shamen in one hit, I didn't even try to fight it, just healed my friend who was near death
We were Level 3 by the way
But I get it if they engaged in the fight so you squish them

Exactly, as a level 2 "boss" encounter i had two blazing skeletons, mind you this was for 6 people so it was managable.

I like to say to my parties. "My job is to almost kill you every night. Everything is survivable, sometimes its harder than others. But if you die, you ****** up, or just had piss poor luck. Now lets begin."
I like this, a lot. Can I quote this to friends both irl and online?
No, and you're not allowed to illegally download music or games either.
Awwwww, guess I better pay royalties to his publishing agent then.
Bad DM = Bad experience. Kick him out and elect a new one. Can't become a better DM if people don't put you in your place.
