[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5448080, member: 13703"] My very first character, Olaf the Stout, a halfling thief from AD&D made it from 1st level to 17th level without dying. He made it from 1st level to 15th level in the one campaign and then I got him to 17th level when I brought him back for a couple of sessions in 3rd edition with one of my friends (just so I could play him again really). I haven't got any other characters beyond around 5th level when I started at 1st level. This was because I played my first character for so long that I didn't get a chance to play many other characters. I am almost solely a DM now so I don't really run PC's at all these days. My current campaign, the Shacked City AP has the PC's at 12th level (starting at 1st level). 2 players have changed their PC's in the game and one other player has had a PC die that was then raised (died fighting a pair of Ogre Zombies). 2 other players are still playing their original PC's and have not died during the campaign to date. I have made all of my dice rolls in this campaign out in the open so there has been no fudging of dice. We've come close to a TPK a couple of times but got out of it one way or another. The players do get 3 action points to use per level though and they have saved the lives of PC's on a number of occasions (usually by emulating the Improved Toughness feat to give them hit points equal to their level for 1 round while another PC gets to them with some healing).
