[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6389222, member: 15700"] Every time someone makes a comment about how you never play the game and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously? This is yet another example. For instance, Revivify requires 300gp in diamonds to cast. Over dozens of play sessions, our PCs certainly have come across lots of gems, but not too many diamonds. Certainly not enough to be casting this spell every time someone dies. Also, you have to have a 5th cleric in your party that has this spell prepared in the first place. That's not sure thing. And thirdly, it only works if you've died in the last minute. Fourthly, you better not have more PCs die than spell slots available, which can, and does, happen before your next long rest. Fifthly, what happens when it's the cleric who goes down or is otherwise incapacitated? So yeah, death is a very real (and permanent) thing in D&D, especially at lower levels. These are things you would know if you actually, you know, [I]played the game.[/I] Indeed... And it just reiterates my earlier post. It seems to me you just joined this forum (last month) to troll it. I can't think of any other reason why any reasonable minded person would think to themselves, "You know what, I hate this game. I'm gonna go join an online forum just to complain about this game I don't like." Who does that? [/QUOTE]
