Message: <blockquote data-quote="green slime" data-source="post: 4070693" data-attributes="member: 1325">What gets me is how some people seem to expect that high level PC's have some "Immunity from Death" card.1) RttToEE is reknowned as a PC-grinder. If you are playing that module, you treasure each survived session.2) The OP did indeed warn the players: "This is tough. No holds barred. These are BAD dudes. Not just ordinary criminals. Sick depraved b*st*rds"3) Of course a vicious, sadisitic, vengeful BBEG is going to CDG an opponent when given a chance of doing it and getting away. 4) If I as a player found out that the BBEG chickened out and went all puppy-eyes, I'd be more than a tad miffed. I like to have good reasons to hate the BBEG.5) At the level these guys are at, death is expected. Suck it up and pay for the diamond.6) The player took the killing of his PC personally.7) I don't think I'd have killed the PC: there are other fates worse than killing the PC and leaving the corpse for his friends to find....I have made it clear to my players, that rumours get around: If a particular team of heroes CDG's their opponents at the first opportunity, then the Bad guys will respond in kind, because they know they can expect no better treatment themselves. If, on the other hand, a team is reknown for showing mercy, and treating prisoners well, then the minions of the BBEG will know they have a chance of living to see another day. It will also increase the likelihood of the PC's being well-treated when captured in order for the Evil Minions (TM) to "hedge their bets" & gain bonus cookie points should things go south (and pear shaped).</blockquote>
