And to, say, target the Death Spell on someone who was THERE that night is sort of silly.Basically, my fudging for people who aren't there is that if they're knocked down and dying, they're more likely to stabilize than normally. I try to have monsters take that PC out of useful combat quickly (with Hold spells and such), which makes my job easier but doesn't KILL the PC in question.Really, the big problem here seems to be your player not showing up and not having the manners to tell somebody that he wasn't showing up.  That's just rude -- and if he's getting angry because his character, the spotlight character for the night, died, then he has no one to blame but himself.People can generally see how a campaign is going -- if you're gonna be the spotlight person (ie, the cleric in the undead-nest, the rogue in the break-in, the fighter in the gladiatoral games), either SHOW UP or give the DM enough time to plan something else.-Tacky</blockquote>
