[QUOTE="R-man, post: 3131058, member: 41142"] After many years of running a campaign that didn't allow for PC deaths in it, all the members of the group made the comment that they preferred to see combat be more dangerous. So when I started up a new campaign two years ago I have started running all the rolls and combat out in the open. With a lot more PC deaths as a result. However I am a DM that believes a good battle is one that leaves all PC's at single digit HP's and no deaths, I consider a PC death a failure on my part to properly balance an encounter. Most of the time the only deaths are as a result of someone doing something really foolish and then having the dice go against them. I never fudge the rolls now and haven't for a couple of years now.
