[QUOTE="Tamlyn, post: 5385818, member: 22563"] As others have said, we need to know why this information is being imparted. Is it a threat from the BBEG, a gift from a certain character's god, or something else? And why is it happening here and now instead of in other circumstances? Will this continue to happen in the future in other situations? Big can of worms here. That being said, if you're determined to go through with it, you might consider using temporary pre-generated characters. Let [I]them[/I] die and somehow the PCs see it. Maybe a strong memory remaining, a warning from a god, or a warning from the BBEG. If it's a memory of something that happened long ago you could use archaic language, armor, maybe the BBEG's apearance is younger, etc... to highlight what it is. I think using temp characters achieves the same thing as telling the players ahead of time that it's a dream, but you're not messing with their characters. If you decide to go ahead with it, let us know how you ran it and how it went. [/QUOTE]
