[QUOTE="Bass Puppet, post: 11744, member: 1418"] Ok, here is my 2 cents and I hope it is helpfull. With my players, I encourage them to THINK. I understand that is is the game of "Heroes" but that doesn't mean you just bust down a door and charge in. I believe I am fair, and I think I have proven that to my players several times. With that in mind, when they die because of a "Lucky Roll" or a "Bad Decision" on their part, they don't blame me. This is a game, monsters die all the time, players dies sometimes. Instead of giving them a Wand or a Scroll at low levels (Which in fact won't help them if a Ogre with one blow is killing your Players and this will start them off with a bad habit of realying on magic Items instead of their Brain), have them use there Heal skill more often. Add some herbs from the local area to add a couple of more HP and they should be fine. Magic Items should be a reward, not a tool that is relyed on.
