[QUOTE="Imperialus, post: 5433554, member: 893"] My druid (Jansen Greensleeves) died last session :( He got nailed by an Ogremage's iceblast and bombed his saving throw taking him down to -11 HP. I rocked the dice on statrolling for his replacement though so I'm putting the finishing touches on a Paladin to take his place. He's a temporary member of the party for now since we're playing 1st ed and there are a lot of neutrals in the party but I'm hoping I can walk that line and not have him turn into one of 'those' paladins. I'm most impressed with how I managed to work him into the campaign's backstory though. You see the party is currently adventuring in Drearyland (seat of the Unseely court) on a mission to recover a holy avenger from a paladin who had been dead and trapped in drearyland for 300 years for a druidic circle back on the prime material plane. The whole reason for the mission was actually because Jansen couldn't afford the training costs to level up so he agreed to take on a mission instead. My DM suggested that the be an escaped slave who was also on a mission to recover the same sword. I suggested that because one of the side effects of eating the local food was that it mucked with the way time passes the Paladin wasn't actually on a recovery mission, but a rescue mission. He entered drearyland hoping to rescue the other paladin and doesn't realize that 300+ years have passed on the prime material plane while only a year or so has passed for him. [/QUOTE]
