The players may even construct a safe area within the dungoen/scenraio using spells, and... stuff- but making a safe room, a save point?I mean its your game but... it just sounds like the player is scared of dying, or else D&D to them is a game to score points (and get more stuff, and win)- not build characters, stories and worlds.If the players want to keep their characters a while then sort out individual patrons who will raise them, or do that in game via angels or devils and the like. Or have it purchasable at the local church- although to pay for it may take them on another adventure.If you make death too easy to overcome- 'bingo! I'm back again.' Then getting killed is nothing to be frightened of, as a DM what are you going to do to make them feel like stuff has value, to make them try different things and better choices in-game, to stay alive rather than to respawn again and again.Your the DM, you set the level of danger, is this one player or all the players- if its all then maybe the dial is too high, if its one... kill his PC, as soon as you can (kidding).As for dice hiccup, I think the player is maybe confusing the random nature of dice rolling with his or her inability to appreciate that for every success there's a fail. Suck it up buddy, or else get a hat.Is the next suggestion going to be for 10th level PCs to go XP farming in dungeons designed for Level 1 PCs... "Whatchew doin' nex' Conan, Drizz'zt, Bigby, Tenser et al?""We're going 'round the Caves of Chaos, level 1-3- it'll be our 20th trip. It's a doozy, Conan there is armed with a flip-flop; Drizz'zt got his pea shooter and the wizards can only use their wands as melee weapons- its a hoot. Although Bigby skinned his knee real bad las' time."Cheers Goonalan</blockquote>
