[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 1802330, member: 1115"] Voted for other. Last session, the ftr/clr/dis died by the vorpal bite of a famine spirit. Several sessions before, it was predicted by an intelligent item related to Beshaba that the cleric will die in combat with famine spirits. Still, I (the DM) didn't try to fullfil that prediction and I almost forgot it. But then the dice decided: I rolled up a 20 and confirmed it with a 19...very strange. But normally, lots of sessions may pass without a killed PC. My death list since D&D 3.0/3.5 is out: Pal/clr died of massive damage from a [I]Firestorm[/I] cast by a Balor (rolling a 1 on a 2+ save). Pal/clr died due to a Ring of Friends, when the group was fighting a White Slaad and a wizard. The wearer of the other ring was hit hard, but had more HP than his buddy... Half-elf ftr/clr/dis of Kelemvor died by a vorpal bite from a famine spirit. Drd was killed by a [I]Flamestrike[/I] after failing her Ref save. Brd was killed by a shadow, the rising shadow was then killed by the party (does that count double?) Brd was killed by a [I]Flamestrike[/I], she was low on HP before... Wiz was killed by a [I]Finger of Death [/I] from a Death Tyrant. Clr was killed by a Red Dragon's breath, after failing his Ref save, despite a [I]Fireshield[/I]... Rog/ftr/dws and brd died by a banshee's wail, despite a previous warning ([I]Silence[/I], anyone?). Asimaar pal died by fighting a Retriever, alone... Halfling rog and elven rog/asn were hacked into pieces by troll fighters. Halfling rog commited suicide due to mental torture. Half-elf ftr/clr of Tempus died in a fight against mohrgs. A [I]confused[/I] bbn killed the asimaar pal. A [I]confused[/I] elven rgr/dws crit'ed the bbn, killing her... Bbn, rgr/dws, pal and ftr/rog/dws died by [I]Tolodine's Killing Wind [/I] cast by a netherese arcanist (I rolled a 20 for the save DC, resulting in a Fort save DC of 42...). Heck, a quite long lisr, and perhaps I forgot some PC deaths. :eek: [/QUOTE]
