[QUOTE="krupintupple, post: 4462253, member: 58300"] well, my first thought is that since he's 'house ruled' such a wonderfully fun set of ideas, he should have an equally available method of getting you a new arm. however, you did mention 'low magic' so there's a fairly good chance that noone's going to be able to cast regenerate, assuming such a high level spell exists, so you're likely boned. ask him what his recommendation is, on the fastest way to get your arm back, or a new one in its place. he seems like he may be alright with some manner of prostetic or robotic arm or something. secondly, if he's really snide about that and just wants to punish you by making you play several levels without rifle and shield (which it sounds like you may have to), ask him if you could just make another character. if he decides to penalize you for not wanting to play a gimped character - ie: insult to injury - and drops you a level or two, you may want to ask yourself if playing a 5th level character with both arms is better than a 6th level character with one arm. its all up to your groups playstyle, but these 'insane' criticals rarely benefit the PCs as they're stuck with gimped characters in wheelchairs after a few sessions, whereas the DM can always make up as many NPCs and monsters as he wants. you may also want to ask if NPCs will also reflect such a brutal campaign world, as it'd be quite common: rolling a natural 1 = 5%, so roughly, 5% of encounters *may* also be disfigured...assuming they survived their previous experiences. p.s. the biggest, baddest BBEG in the land may very well be a blind guy with no arms, no legs, no skin, immersed in a tank of saline, with a tube from his face connected to a wind-bellows life-support manned by two halflings. just shoot them and he's dead. ;) edit: jeff beat me to it, but if he's a real poopie-sandwich about the whole situation, maybe everyone should try a few games where someone else is the DM.
