Rodrigo Istalindir said:I wouldn't allow it at any cost, personally. The fear of sudden death is about the only thing that keeps very high-level characters in check. Even if I did allow it, I wouldn't let it be a commodity item that every player could get.
FWIW, I'd feel the same way about letting everyone have a permanent mind-blank, or True-Sight, or similar items that would protect against whole classes of spells.
Well it wasn't quick, but 3 greater stone golems and a maralith did effectively manage to take down the Frenzied Berzerker with the aformentioned armor. So there ARE other ways to keep the far of death in PCs, even if it isn't quite as quick.
