[QUOTE="Darth K'Trava, post: 2203093, member: 20587"] I didn't take it too hard with my first character dying. He came back later in the session. The DM made it where the wand we were getting from this blue dragon had a [i]Raise Dead[i] on it so my character could come back after getting double-zotted by the dragon, before he even got to do anything! :] He had "natural" fear of electricity for awhile after that..... even when some bad guy shot off a lightning bolt at the party, he went up a tree and stayed there for awhile... His second death was to a hydra, when he went to attack it to draw part of its attacks off a fellow party member. He nearly died a third time to a behir and the DM decided to let it let go of him instead of swallowing him, to go after another party member. Because he'd not have survived the swallowing damage... I don't recall the last time he died, but I decided that enough was enough.... and rolled up a new character. The time another DM decided to end our epic party, he basically nuked 3/4ths of the party while at their keep with a major monster assault. Our sorceress decided to utilize her epic spell to turn all of us into Force Dragons and it got counterspelled! OUCH! That blast obliterated everyone in the area, including the party! We were quite unhappy about that as we loved playing those characters! I dealt more with the ranger dying multiple times than the one time my epic-level Tormish cleric died... She resides with her god and can never return to the Prime or else Shar would hunt her and the party down.[/i][/i] [/QUOTE]
