Repeated stupidity happens a surprising number of times. Like the 3rd-level PCs that had to retreat from the same encounter with 8 basic goblins in the same room twice [retreat, go back to town to heal, return, retreat, go back to town to heal...], even though they fully knew what to expect (they hadn't even cast hour/level buffs before entering the goblins' caveYeoman said:In my last group, I think someone died on average every other session. Mostly just bad luck, although stupidity took a toll on a few.
).No, the player of the Azer didn't plan on this occurring, but he admitted the pattern after dying 12 fights in a row and just took the feat. Recently, now that he has made it to high level and his ECL hurts less, he hasn't been killed by the enemy for many many fights, although the reckless party archmage has killed him multiple times. One time, they were attacking a monster that had a 20% to redirect any Ray effect at a random target. When I mentioned this after the archmage shot out a suped-up Polar Ray, the azer's player just anounced "Don't bother rolling. I'm dead." I told him it was only a 20% chance to redirect, then a 10% chance to redirect to him, then a 50% miss chance for Cloak of Displacement, and the ranged touch attack only had a 75% chance to hit. But it didn't matter...somehow the Polar Ray did indeed hit the Azer.loki44 said:
I agree with that. 10 hit points is not really enough of a buffer. I use the AU dead and dying rules, so they get to go to -Con score before final death, and they still die all the time.MerricB said:
