[SOLDIER First]

Don't want to cause a scene.

Others aren't enjoying this either. I don't know if they know the DM is messing with the books. He says everything is by the book when asked.

Ask him which book.

There is a good chance he was searching the online SRD and got third party junk...

The Online SRD REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to do a waaaaaaaay better job getting rid of third party junk so it doesn't show in the first party sections.

The Adventure Path books we are using. Encounters are different. The story is different slightly. 3rd party monsters and classes, plus encounters way above our characters' pay grade.

Overall, we aren't having fun. He's blaming the adventure itself, but I have the books as well, so I know it isn't true.

[Criptfeind]

Blaming the encounter isn't really a good excuse anyway, even if it was true. He's the GM and is in charge of everything. If there's an issue (which, given that he's blaming something, seems to be something that even he admits is true) it's within his power to change despite the book.

[BlackFlyme]

The problem is him, not the books. I've read the books. He's making them much harder, while claiming that the books are the problem when we complain that the encounters are too much.

He's also changing the story in ways, though I can't tell why yet.

Well changing the story and encounters isn't a BAD idea... Heck changing the story can be an excellent idea especially for players who know how it goes (and some adventure paths give you a few ways you can change things around a bit or even a lot).

However, I have no idea what the heck this DM is doing. Perhaps he thinks his job is to be against the players?

I know I once got really unfair on my players, but that was because they were sailing through all my encounters that I got upset that nothing I did had any impact... But that is a slip up and was only for one session.

[BlackFlyme]

I've been mentioning things for a while now, with the most recent thing he's done being that he replaced Rogues with Horselords that could crit on a 12.

He added an Adult Silver Dragon to an encounter table meant for level 4 characters.

Centaurs cavaliers.

Half-celestial Paladin Unicorns.

Fairly weak traps were turned into a DC 26 Symbol of Insanity.

Fucking MYTHIC creatures.

One player's quit, and another is threatening to leave due to the difficulty, we all expressed our dislike of the campaign today, and the DM maintains that this is all by the book.

I died 30 minutes into the session today, and he wouldn't let me come back today. I can bring my next character next week.

Paladin Unicorns

Ok now that is an awesome idea! Too bad it isn't by the right DM to enact it.

"Smite Evil Through my horn!"

[wierd]

Does it get a feat called "Emit posterior Rainbow" that illuminates 30 ft, and does a fascination/hypnosis attack?

Because that would be both epic AND funny.

[My Name is Immaterial]

That gives Color Spray a whole new meaning...

[Egan_BW]

Also increases its flying speed.

[wierd]

This supernatural ability can be used once a day for each level gained, double if Intestinal Fortitude has been taken.

[scriver]

Centaurs cavaliers.

Please tell me they where Centaurs rising horses.

[GiglameshDespair]

Centaurs cavaliers.

Please tell me they where Centaurs rising horses.

Actually they were riding additional centaurs.

Really stoked about the release of Aquatic Adventures. Finally a bit of expansion on underwater combat rules!
