[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6891609, member: 22779"] So, which do you do Sealorn? Do you gank fallen PC's? 2e had no recovery time after you went negative AFAIR, so, from 2e onward, so long as the healing brought you back above 1 HP, you were good to go. So, do you play that way? After all, you admit that not doing so is role playing poorly, so, I'd expect you to gank downed PC's every chance you got. And, ok, let's run with the idea that the rules of the game reflect the nature of the game world. Are your settings entirely over run with undead? From at least 2e onward, anyone killed by a wraith becomes a wraith. By 3e, that's in a d4 rounds btw. If you start with a single wraith, and assume that every wraith kills 2 people per day, that's a billion wraiths in a single month. Why aren't all your game worlds completely destroyed by undead? Aren't you a good role player? Why aren't you role playing your undead NPC's? On and on and on. D&D is not, nor has it ever been, a world building engine. Trying to use it as such means you have to ignore vast swaths of what the game actually says, and, at that point, well, you might as well not bother. [/QUOTE]
