[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 2192367, member: 16991"] Almost always, as characters only die if there are no rule or plot based reasons to have them survive. This may seem soft but raising the dead is very difficult as finding a highlevel allied cleric and 5k in diamonds within a week is difficult - last campaing had 6 deaths in 9 months and only one was returned to life. As for serious regrets - the Barb/Sorcer who carried around some special metals for much of the game, finally forging and enchanting his own Greatsword at one time it was taken away from him and when he recieved a favor from a planar entity he asked for it back. It was only a +1 weapon but it counted as keen whenever he used truestrike (almost every battle) And a Asimar cleric of the NE goddess of secrets. Whose mother was the highpriestess of the order (a Mystic Theurge) who had become quite evil after he was born. Of course after he was killed his mother took an intrest in the doings of the PCs - Eventually they even found out why. They traced an assisination of one of the BBEG council and the razing of a ruined city to her. The city was where her son died. Ever wonder what happens when a party of 12th lvl evil adventures led by mystic theurge hits a site designed to challange 4th and 5th lvl PCs? perhaps not fun to play through, but listening to the story of the d4 surviving bugbears...
