[QUOTE="Lord Ipplepop, post: 2805711, member: 39914"] [COLOR=Red][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Most of the characters I've lost were to Loki screwing with my dice. There have only been a few times that I had a character die to something other than the hosing of the dice: 1) My very first character was a magic user (1 ed). Within the first 15 minutes, I took my chincy little magic missile and jumped in front of the party to stop a band of orcs... my next character saved them from the orcs 30 minuites later as his way of joining the party. 2) I had a Paladin that sacrificed himself to help the party escape an encounter that was going to kill us all (no magic left, the healing was all used, and we were down to very few hit points.) 3) I also had a Paladin (1ed) that was doing the Paladin In Hell scenario (based an a very famous drawing in the 1st ed books) and went toe to toe with Asmodeus. It was a hard fought battle that lasted more than a few rounds. I lost when we each had less than 10 hp and the next successful attack would do it. He rolled a better initiative and hit me. It is possible to call it dice screwed, however after a well-fought battle, I have a hard time saying so. There have been a few others (Tomb of Horrors, anyone??) however they are very few.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
