[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6856661, member: 6775477"] As a player, I've only had 1 PC die. OotA, 1st level Wizard, planning on going into Bladesinger. During the first adventure, the Wild Mage summons a Fireball on us, killing us both. Needless to say, we don't like Wild Mages. As a DM, I've killed 3 PCs. Revivify was used by the Cleric to save 2 of them, but when he died the bard tried to use a Scroll of Raise Dead, failing the check. Edit: I forgot about an introductory one-shot. Lost Mines of Phandelver for new players at my FLGS. They were nearing closing time, and the party decided to fight a green dragon (some of them were 4E players, who assumed nothing existed that was outside of their ability to defeat). I went ahead and let them meet up with the dragon, and it was nearly a TPK (7 of 8 dead). The sole survivor was the PC who was against the idea in the first place. He was in the back, and so didn't get hit with the breath weapon. When he fled, I decided the dragon wanted him to escape and spread word of his ferocity. If it wasn't a one shot, I *might* have been more lenient. Maybe ;) [/QUOTE]
