[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3121313, member: 41321"] A new player just joined a game where you are the DM. He's new to the D&D scene and is just getting the hang of the rules. You're exploring a dangerous dungeon. After a half-hour of not much happening, the party wanders into an encounter that is above their heads, but they don't realize this immediately. The party attacks, and the new player follows suit. It's probably the first combat this new player has ever been in. In the second round, the new PC is hit by one of the baddies and takes enough damage to put him into the -30 range. There is no magic available to bring the character back to life. He's only been playing for an hour or less, and he's already dead. It wasn't really anything he did wrong that got him killed, the party was just in over their heads and he was the unlucky one who "found out". What do you do? Pick the answer closest to what you'd do. This just happened in the game I'm in (I'm neither the DM, nor the new player). For the record, I think the DM made a good choice, but I'm curious to see what other people would do. [/QUOTE]
