[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4012573, member: 1656"] Mostly unlucky, I think. At the end of Castle Amber, the PCs were each presented with a gift deemed most suitable. Zob was given a Ring of Regeneration, which subsequently accounted for about five of his returns. Oddly enough, when the ring got drained in the Ghost Tower of Inverness, Zob stopped dying... One evening, the player got called into work. "Look after Zob!" he told everyone else. When he got back a few hours later, he asked "How did it go?" "Um... you died." "Oh." "Um... twice." He had Boots of Levitation and a Wisdom of about 4... so as a fighter, his Save vs mind-affecting Spells was abysmal. A devil that had been stalking us had seen Zob use his boots, and when it decided to attack us, it hit Zob with a Suggestion - "Why don't we take the fight [i]up there[/i], where it's less crowded?" Naturally, Zob failed his save. Of course, the flying devil was fine, but Zob suffered all the penalties for combat while levitating, and wasn't doing so well... so we all tried to help. The ranger shot a +4 arrow, the magic-user cast a lightning bolt, and the dwarven fighter contributed another lightning bolt from his hammer. All of them, alas, missed the devil... and all of them hit Zob... On another occasion, the party was swarmed by ghouls in an underground cavern. After a couple of rounds, everyone but Zob was unconscious or paralyzed... and there were still a whole lot of ghouls. In desperation, he broke a Wand of Fireballs, and it was judged that all the remaining charges detonated. Some hours later, Zob's ring brought him back to life, and he looked around at a cavern full of charred bodies. And spent the next couple of days hunting out ring fingers, putting the ring on them, and waiting to see if it was a PC that started to regenerate... -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
