[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 248554, member: 4545"] Heh, Everybody's game is different. I think D&D should be fun, and fun for me is not having to start over at level one every few sessions, or having to make yet another level 5 character to finish out scenario "B". I think my group agrees. Someday we may try a "grin-n-gritty" style game where you don't fudge a roll, or reduce the crit damage so the party mage doesn't go to -11 HP. I'm not saying characters never die, I'm saying if we played it by the book our group would not find the game as fun at this point. Of course, there has to be some risk in combat and characters do sometimes die. They fall unconscious a lot. They could lose their favorite magic weapon, animal companion, trusted mount, castle, home, village. There have to be risks, otherwise the game is reduced to a cakewalk with a few die rolls thrown in to keep up appearances. I say cater to your players. And make yourself happy as a DM. It is just a game after all, and games are supposed to be challenging and fun. [/QUOTE]
