[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 7496574, member: 6921763"] We do the 3 death saves RAW thing at our tables. Some notable deaths: In one game, a player (10 years old, mind you) was bored of his bard and wanted to try a paladin. We conspired on a dramatic death, the 8th level Bard was killed outright by massive damage by Strahd, and I helped him create a new 8th level Paladin who showed up out of the Mists shortly thereafter. In another game, the squishy human wizard was killed outright by a Forest Marauder (hello Tome of Beasts). Luckily the Cleric had a Revivify scroll handy. About 8 sessions later, the same wizard and another one were outright killed by an Abominable Yeti's cold breath. The Cleric came through again, casting Gentle Repose on both. allowing enough time to get to a Temple for some expensive Raise Dead help. We've also had two reincarnations (one due to Wild Magic and one due to the Amber Temple Dark Gift). In about 80 sessions of play so far between the two groups, though, we've had dozens of 0 HP knockouts but no PC has died due to rolling three death save failures. [/QUOTE]
