Death, should i let it be final

[Plane Sailing]

I'd say let him die and have the fun of another character concept!

As a player I don't go through enough PC's to try out all the character concepts or classes that I'd like to.

Another guy I used to play with didn't have that problem... he almost lost a character every other week!

Somepeople are lucky or unlucky, some characters take risky or safer strategies.

Sounds like this one has had a good innings and a vile life, and unless you are really committed to him for some reason I'd let him enjoy his heavenly desserts!

Cheers

never let the player die never. there are wonderious things and powers the control the fantasy universe and death is not reason to be stoped.
i had a player in an old game who was a necromancer his veiw was death is no reason to stop fighting.
if the challanges on your person are to great and cause a random death i advise you to enlist the employment of a high lvl priest and pay him to forge you a weapon or artifact that has the power to raise dead as often as once a week. just keep in mine if it's a dagger or something don't stab people in the chest to revive them as they will just return to death. use the butt check they will walk funny for a minute but they will live. secondly i would take the time to figure out ways to counter act all these annoying problems with your character. even if it takes quests to find powerful artifacts to remove the curses or the death of an evil wizerd. but play and enjoy the world you dm created.

at the end of my last game the party of 12 had so many scars and defects they looked more like a science experiment than humanoid. but thye loved those people and desipt the blind eye or deaf ear. disfigured side from a desert dragons breath, misssing hand, molting skin, permint blue scar around the torse from a dragons tail whiping.

Bring him back but roleplay him seeking to have bad memories removed (a crude method of psychotherapy, but D&D is not big on such so for example the "modify memory" spell may have to do). Then he can focus on the missions at hand.

Partly this is due to how others would see the character and how it would fit into their own characters' stories, and perhaps into the DM's overarching plot. There may be a redemptive light at the end of this very dark tunnel.

I've decide that im going to bring him back for three reasons. The first reason has to do with the comment the DumbPaladin said:

Sounds like it's been a brutal, crushing life. No one would blame your character for remaining in eternal bliss and simply refusing to return to the mortal realm.

I thought about it and i realised, someone would blame my character, my character. To him simply choosing not to return to his mortal coil so he can expierance the bliss of heaven all the while know he left his friend those who have become his family to deal with a crazed necromancer, an avatar of an evil undead god, and Demon Prince roaming the land, makes him undeserving of that peace.

The second is the character still has much left unfinished his whole past that he thought was real has become suspect through out the campaign. I'm quite invested in this story and finding out the truth behind it.

And finaly my third reason is that i am very attached to this character, he's my first D&D character and i've been playing him for just over three years now, and i feel that his story is one i need finish.

Thanks again everyone you've been a ton of help,

Your character sounds like an awesome ally to have watching your back.

Glad something I said was able to make you decide ... the opposite thing.

Thanks again for the help, and thanks for the complement.

Maybe, i should convince my DM to start a story hour thread as i know he's starting to write the campaign down in story format. Originally we never thought it would be seen/ or cared about by anyone outside the people in the party but perhaps if its posted there my DM could get some of feed back that (i feel) he deserves.

Anyway thanks again everyone

sounds to me that you should revive your character, but have all the painful atrocities that have happened to him turn him into an evil character. You can have much more fun with an evil character,IMO.

With my wizard, similar things have happened, and the last time I was rezzed I changed to the prestige class Pale Master. Gives you slight necromantic powers, without really losing most of your arcane spell abilities.

Not sure if this helps, but its an idea.
