[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8121872, member: 27385"] PCs rarely die in my games. Adventures are designed for certain level characters with some easy encounters and a few dangerous ones where death is possible, but mostly smart play and tactics prevail. For example, in the last game the PCs started a fight with pirates and a pirate leader. Most of the 20 bad guys were bandits with a 12AC and 12HP- for a party of 12th level PCs. The leader and his bodyguard were ok tough, but the whole fight would take 3-4 rounds with a fireball and assassin going first. Then a dragon turtle was called by the pirate leader on the 2nd round after being nearly killed. Things changed in that fight with the 4 remaining bandits and 3 followers fleeing or pulling back leaving the PCs to finish the leaders and the dragon. One PC dropped below 0hp and one NPC almost died. The fighter and cleric almost died, but did not. [/QUOTE]
