DM hates my Runepriest

Aug 11, 2010 17:25:56 I have a Runepriest character (resonably optimized) that my DM seems to hate. Mostly because of the riders of my powers, which cause additional book keeping.

I'm not sure what to do. We only have a few more sessions left in the campaign, as the group does seasonal campaigns since we're mostly college students, but I want to try to make his book keeping easier so that he'll have less of a reason to hate on my character during sessions.

Thoughts?

When an effect comes up, hand the relevant buff to the relevant ally or the relevant debuff to the DM with the enemy affected by it written in pencil so that you can erase it later and reuse the card.

In my experience, even something as simple as removing the need for the DM to write something down will improve this sort of situation where a DM feels overwhelmed by bookkeeping.

We always have extra power cards laying around because we print up our PCs.

We took one of the power cards wrote on the back of the card +1 power bonus to AC. WHen our rune priest uses her healing she plops it on the table.

This can be used for any of the runepriest powers

Hoah boy, there's a class with a lot of book-keeping if I've ever seen one.

What he did was he had these two genuine Nordic runes carved on pebbles... One for destruction and one for protection. He taped them togther, with one rune facing each side, and would flip it over depending on which one he was in.

I can't think of anything else, but something like that would probably help... You probably don't need to use such a literal approach, though.
