[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6142872, member: 5143"] Yeah, this is kind of where I was coming from. I couldn't understand why they were making such a big deal about it. I mean, yeah, it sucks that the DM appeared to have picked an arbitrarily large number off the top of his head and used it as damage without having any idea that it would kill anyone. He looked seriously surprised when they both said "150 damage? You know that kills us outright from full hitpoints right?" My best guess is he had no idea how many hitpoints we had(during the time he actually PLAYED 4e, someone else made his character and he had difficulty keeping track of his powers and what they did). So, the first thing he did was tell the Warlock, now god, "You are allowed to bring them back to life, you have the power to do that now." The Warlock was completed surprised when they said no. So were the rest of us. She didn't even know what to do. She was made a god and told(as I was told later) "The rest of the gods appear before you and tell you that they don't want you interfering in the world too much. You can't take any direct action to help the PCs fight unless they agree to worship you and even then you can only give them small buffs. However, you can take actions to correct the wrong caused by Misha and bring your friends back to life." So, she tried to do the one thing she was allowed to do...and they said no. And complained about the offer being an insult to them. Plus, she's fairly new to D&D as well. [/QUOTE]
