Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jondor_Battlehammer" data-source="post: 1571525" data-attributes="member: 5335">A series of lame deaths, all resulting in the same homebrew system ran by a DM that we should not have been playing with.The party is storming a wizard's tower, when the DM randomly rolls a target during a fight with an earth elemental. The one targeted was the brand new cleric who wasn't even in the room. I died from several times my HP in damage.A fight with a group of kobalds, which we outnumbered. By the time they were actually killed, we had over half the party down, and several dead. Not from the kobalds, mind you, but from other PCs rolling critical misses. Including a dwarven warrior axing his brother dead in the back.A friend of mine has a tie with himself for the lamest deaths in that game. The first being the only combatant in an adventure to destroy what in 3E terms would be an epic level Dracolich. Once they find its lair, however, they discover not one, not two, but all three of these legendary beasts together. Made all the more obvious an attempt to kill the party because one had been trapped half way across the world for the past few thousand years. So the party begins trying to escape, while the fighter charges them as a distraction. He kills two of them, and with the way he was rolling, was only a round or two away from getting the third. One of the hottest dice nights he has ever had, and the DM finally hit him. Lame because they should have won that one, had the DM not cheated.His most mechanically lame death was when the same PC died on a crit from a one HP goblin. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
