[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4158533, member: 710"] I liked the idea of using some metagame resource like drama or action points to facilitate such situations. Either the player choose to initiate a "sudden death" scenario - they win initiative, and they spent an action point to get a "sudden death" attack. Or the DM says "sudden death" against the PCs or some allied NPCs, and all the players receive one action point. This would allow to run stuff like hostage scenarios and player capturing. BBEG holds knife at PC lovers throat. "Let me go or she dies!" DM explains "Sudden Death. You all get an action point. Do whatever you want with skills and hope you don't fail to hard. You can choose to attack, but if you miss, she dies! If you hit, he is out of the fight" Or 10 Guards with Crossbows circle the PCs. "Drop your weapons and come with us!" DM Explains "sudden death - every hit kills or incapacitates" [/QUOTE]
