It's easy to be "heroic" when you have massive spells, strength or rage to help!During a fight, we had a urchin cutpurse try to make off with the pouch that had the secret plans. We manage to catch up with the boy even though he has Exp. Retreat. At that moment an sniper assassin sent a posioned arrow at the child. My measly 2nd level (by only 2 extra XP) Rogue leaped in front of the arrow.I had to MAKE my Reflex check to catch missle in my chest, no chance to snatch it or bat it away. I succeeded and then slumped onto the cobblestone as the world started to fade away. As a player I held onto my PC sheet, ready to rip it up since our cleric was out of spells. We mannaged to let me make 2 checks to see if I could be stablized or die. I made both despite the high numbers.Bah! No ressurects, no divine favors, just healing skills and luck! I had already written my character off, even I was surprised he lived. Thats REAL heroism for ya!!The common man, no one will write ballads of us, yet our sacrifice does change the world.Now excuse me while I and drnuncheon's exploding PC go get a drink and celebrate that I am probably now on borrowed time.</blockquote>
