[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8823533, member: 50987"] That hasn't been much of a problem for my friends. If someone's character is getting beaten handily by a monster (or more often, by their own stubbornness and bad luck), I usually flat-out [I]tell them [/I]what they can expect, and then let them act accordingly. Heck, I've even gone as far as to give them a choice at the table and let them vote on it. (clicks the Whisper function in Roll20) "So, Bob...it looks like your paladin is about to make her last death save. Let's talk about what it will look like if you fail. Should I work something into the story to save her after the battle? or are you okay with it being Game Over for a little while until they get her back to the temple? Oh. You wanna roll up a new character? Okay, we can do that too, let's see how this save throw goes." (unclicks the Whisper function) [/QUOTE]
