[QUOTE="Bri, post: 9708955, member: 7053278"] I think it's a choice based on what kinda game you want to play. Death should always have consequences. You can always play it like EQ. Naked corpse runs. End up having to hire a necro to summon your corpse. So in a wipe out, just invent situation like a wandering necro happened to find your bones. Luckily, he will release you from your obligations as an undead servant if you perform this task.... "Bring me the FRESH corpse of a paladin! Not too dead this time, my pets!" He then casts a curse, The Need to Feed. Each day if PC doesn't feed on the flesh of a good alignment NPC, STR+1, CON -1. When you get to 0 Con you die for good. Need to Feed . Lvl 8 evil necromancer only Duration - Until quest complete or caster killed. Cast on corpse of dead PC. Adds infectious bite attack, which spreads Need to Feed (disease resistant). If infected, NPC becomes undead servant of biter when killed (less 0 HP) +1 STR, -1 CON (irreversible) each day without successful bite. PC no longer needs food or drink Converts alignment to evil (reversible) Converts Paladins into Fallen (reversible) Cannot resist charm and other mental spells of the one that cast it on you. Any attempt to attack master results in an irresistible stun. .... Or.... Born Again Lvl 8 good cleric Duration: until quest complete or caster dies. Quest must honor God. Often return relic or the like. Cast on corpse of dead Effects Raise dead Adds attack. Must have less 0 HP. Resist mental. Spreads Born Again. NPC becomes servant. Each day you do not successfully spread... -1 INT, +1 CHA bards and sorcerer +1 INT, -1 CHA wizards +1 WIS, -1 CHA all wisdom classes Ect. * Randomize for multiple class PC requires special food, drink as defined by caster gods. ... So you can play a more dangerous game while still leaving big problems if someone dies or even a complete wipeout And DM can use to redirect a party. They wiped because in the wrong place for their level. Send them on a quest somewhere closer to what the party can handle. [/QUOTE]
