Fair warning??

And the answer is "this game will suck."

No objection from me, your honour.

He got an admin to do it.

I consider the fact that the spells are in the PHB, and the players have a copy of said book, to constitute 'fair warning'.

Totally agree with ya...and that's all the fair warning my players get.

Ah. It's because I didn't know that you can have ' signs in the nick. It should be Kae'Yoss, not KaeYoss. Is that much of a fuss to change?

Fair Warning when I'm feel like being nice to my players: The party runs into a first hand witness who saw the gray colored beam streak from the evil necromancers finger before striking the hapless gaurd who immeadiately crumbled to a pile of dust.
As I always tell my players, turn about is fair play, you use get to use magic, so does the enemy.

From what I understand of the software, it shouldn't take much work at all. So if you want, just start a thread about it in Meta and Piratecat, Henry, or Russ will take care of it.

LOL Classic! And I heartily agree!

I happen to agree with the "expert"... I wouldn't use a death effect (i.e. save or die) unless I knew the players understood it to be a possibility. At least my group is not too crazy about raising the dead, and I'm not too crazy about them rolling up new characters for every session.

Plus, I would avoid killing them except near the end of a session... which further limits when I'd use a death effect.

Will do. Thanks.

It would be an interesting feature of D&D:O if the player could switch to "PnP" mode where death is permanent (Death = roll new character). If you see a PC in PnP mode that is level 15 or so you can tell that he earned that level I would be highly intrigued by such a game mode.

Diablo II has such a mode. "Hardcore". And yes, there were occasional complaints of "lag ate my PC". To which they replied "Well, play normal mode then."
