That said, he DOES put in the time to create encounters. unique monsters, unique situations, unique npcs. he still lacks the skill to use them to their full potential. it's easier when you are a player, you have to know well your character. when you have to know a dozen npcs that you will use once or twice, it's different. I've been there. I've DMed a party of 20th level casters as main opponents, and never managed it well.
Speaking of stepping up, I did specifically say that I wasn't looking for defences for the dragons, and wasn't looking for spells to neutralize orbs. So if you want to throw dismissive comments on my friends, you should at least make sure to have read and understood the issue.
