I dunno man. I’ve had a lot of conversations with players that go like “do you think your character is the first to come up with this hijink? If it works, why doesn’t the entire setting revolve about this infinite damage trick you’re trying to sell me?”

The DM wasn’t happy with the player’s choices, and instead of talking to them about it, punished them with an unwinnable fight.
