[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 5306153, member: 31304"] First, Incendax, you are doing a wonderful thing by posting this here and encouraging the player(s) to come and see what people say and/or comment. That is truly setting your ego aside to become a better gamer. [IMG]http://www.circvsmaximvs.com/images/smilies/miscellaneous/bow.gif[/IMG] And that's what my comment is going to be about. I think others have covered the salient points about encounter design, a noble death, smart PC tactics, and fudging die rolls. IMHO, the important thing to learn from this encounter and thread is "What could we/should we do next time?" Perhaps you'll mix up your encounters. But if not, how would the players handle a similar/identical situation the next time (knowing what they know now)? Would the player of the dead PC act any differently? Why or why not?
