[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8706824, member: 7025282"] I actually play D&D for some visceral stimulation… I just cannot get a thrill if I cannot die. So many times we yell and high five…just getting out of a jam is a kick. Taking down great evil with some risk is fantastic. Everyone has a story…mine was fighting at 3 HP against creatures that do 2-8. I got hit DM rolls in the open….2 damage! The table goes wild! I get my attack and drop him! I am able to keep the party alive…25 years ago and we still remember it. Another one…ranger’s friends get drug into a tunnel by ghouls. Wait for them to be eaten or be a hero? I go in and….get paralyzed. We all die together. I really liked that character! Damn! It is really is no good for me without death but it’s also not fun to sit around when others keep playing. I get it. I don’t like to die either. But the deck is rigged especially with 5e. You can’t always win. There are quite a few tactical withdrawals and a very very few deaths. It’s a price I am willing to play. Alternatives of course are raise dead and other magic at mid levels. Some loss of ability score, some loss of magic, some loss of coin are other ways to have “loss.” But I need death… [/QUOTE]
