Sephex and I have recently started playing D&D with our friends. Too bad our game master(the only one who had previous experience in playing the game) suck at being a game master. Granted I come up with some pretty crazy to do but he tries to look up everything and it just slows everything down. The rules or more like guide lines anyways. Just make some up that makes sense sometimes to keep stuff moving along. Not everything needs to be looked up.
Wow, you NEED to get with another group, one with a good DM. Here's an easy way: take a rulebook to school. Unless your afraid of being called a geek (unlikley) you should take a rulebook, players handbook or DM's Guide, or MM works best, and you will run into dozens of D&D players. Talk to them, tell them your problem, if they know a group you can play with. You'll get good results, trust me.

Rapid Shot and Manyshot CANNOT be used together, if he is he's cheating.
The bastard. That's exactly what he's doing. That's it he's DEAD! You do not piss of the wizard! Thanks again, I cannot begin to tell you how much this helps.
