When the wrongs befalling a character are not so unjustified that I can comfortably hand-wave them away, but where the players weren't doing something so stupid that you can easily say, "Next time, Ray, when somebody asks if you're a god, say yes."When my first-level party listened came to a fork in the dungeon, advanced to a door, and heard the voices of "a whole bunch of big, tough hobgoblins," I didn't feel bad for what happened to them after they kicked down the door and ran into 7 hobgoblins.When my 3rd level party heard one voice through a curtain, and opened it to see a group of big orcs, I felt a little bad for not pointing just how big and nasty the orcs were. (1 orc war chief (CR 4), 1 Orog (CR 2), 2 CR 3 NPCs and 3 regular orcs.) They just barely escaped a TPK and left 2 characters to die. Not so bad that I didn't have them roll up new characters, of course.Just because I kill foolish PCs for a hobby doesn't mean I always have to like it. Is all I'm saying.</blockquote>
