Your handling of that Paladin situation seems excessively punitive for no good reason. Your play style is just not a play style that everyone shares. As he said, "They purposely made those spells as they are because letting the <s>characters</s> players play more often outweighed the minor loss of a feeling of danger."Take a step back and ask yourself: "If I were a player playing my PC and he died, would I want my DM to make it this difficult to get this PC back?". If I were playing that game, I would straight out tell the other players to not even bother with this crap. Let my Paladin die.It's a game. It's not the end of the world if a player gets his PC back, especially since there is already an in game cost associated with it.In fact, you punished the entire team of players, not just one player. Yup, I definitely do not like your play style where you punish multiple players under the guise of "a cool storyline". Meh.DM: "I'm going to rake you all over, but I'm going to do it in a really really cool way for the story." <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />Yeah, that's what I want my DM telling me. I "painstakingly weaved it with the lore of the setting in a campaign". I would tell my DM to step away from the caffeine if he told me this.And then, "Six sessions later the party suffered a TPK." Seriously. Why am I not surprised? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
