[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1398414, member: 9990"] By accidental I assume you mean traps/critters/etc to be dangerous, but not going out of my way to kill the PC. If that's the case, I gotta say: all the time. This is usually how PCs die IMCs, not from things that are deliberately trying to get them. Often, the victim ends up being a PC that split away from the group and is suddenly aware of the stupidity of marching headlong into the next fray just to get the max use of a buff spell. The traps & critters are there no matter who goes first and sometimes they happen to be the only ones charging into the next encounter while the rest of the PCs are being healed or assessing the area they are in. So many fellow players and DMs refer to this as a Stupidity Death; I am very much inclined to agree. SDs are in their own catagory - "the DM didn't kill your PC, you did" - and should not be counted against even a RBDM. That being said, PCs still die IMC. Dice are dice, and even I can't save PCs sometimes, not even with a Luck Point system incorporated. [/QUOTE]
