[QUOTE="Virel, post: 5766360, member: 24633"] I have done this many times with mixed results. Often it's not much of an issue with a melee type PC. The real problems only happened with the caster type PC's. 2004 - AD&D - Marina Another player was running my PC. The player had my PC try on a necklace found in the treasure. It was a necklace of strangulation. Dead 1st level pc. The DM being the nice guy he was allowed a Resurrection to return the PC to life...and I only had to payback the 100000gp bill. This took four real years of playing about ten of game time. A few players actually had their PC's help my PC pay the debt back otherwise it would have taken longer. This PC knows the meaning of being poor. The PC is still one of my active PC's. Now a 13th level assassin/18th level magic user. Sometimes the player mentioned below will end up controling this PC but that's pretty rare these days. He almost got her killed last month. 2007-AD&D-Alathane I was DMing Against the Giant's. The players wanted my PC a cleric/magic user to go along as the heal bot. The player careless left the C/M exposed in the open when the rest of the party hid. Missle fire killed the C/M. They tried to raise him but he later failed resurrection roll. 2008-AD&D-Agathon Replace PC also a C/M. We had wrapped up Dragon Mountain. My coDM had ran it over several months. To allow her a chance to play, I DM'd the return trip home. A nasty encounter occured. The player that had gotten the 1st C/M killed was controlling this one. I assumed wrongly he would be careful. The C/M was played aggressively and ended up in melee. He died. They were on a different plane and Agathon had defied his deity in going on the Dragon Mountain adventure. Resurrection disallowed due to conflict with deity. [/QUOTE]
