As an older player Im tend to 'play like I mean it' after years of 1E-2E where being dead really screwed you over so I dont treat it as being blase' like some of my contempory's in the group do.Think the worst run of character deaths was in CoTSQ, by the time we'd finished we where down to 1 origional character. Our string of bad luck was appalling, we'd avoid encounters that where too tough or unprepared for and sure as crap stinks the enemy would roll a 20 on its spot check and another couple of PC's would eat dirt. It got beyond a joke really and no one enjoyed playing anymore.Back in 2E we had a dwarf in the group with his 19 con that he was very proud of and ended up like Hypersmurf's fighter, though this character was a greedy bastard and the DM delighted in throwing in the odd cursed item and of course the dorf jumped on anything 'uber' like a horny dog.His classic deaths1: Helm of Opposite alignment, he turned CE on us so we ended up hacking him to death when he flipped out.2: Necklace of strangulation, man, it takes ages for a con19 person to die that way, it was also so hilarious.3: Not technically 'dead' but the girdle of giant strength that 'removed' the dangly bits nearly killed everyone else from laughing so hard.Ah cursed items... so many tears... so many laughs...</blockquote>
