If they never die 'cause they only kill goblins all the time and laugh while the gnolls try to pierce their +5 full plates of heavy fortification they aren't really heroes. Any guy could do that. What makes them heroes is facing these life-or-death situations, wondrously surviving the lich's finger of death or something similarly dangerous. But if those life-threatening situations become so easy to resist, however, that the players won't mind another, they can't really be considered heroic either.Well, to be heroic, you still need to be able to actually -do- something. Just hurling spells left and right to see them fail isn't going to be heroic either."Look, guys. My 16th-level wizard actually survived this adventure although he didn't do a thing, except hide behind the rogue. How heroic!"- Cyraneth</blockquote>
