[QUOTE="BruceWright, post: 9619172, member: 7051544"] I’m happy to just say he’s speaking for himself and i don’t require him to speak for the entire hobby and so now i have to call him wrong wrong wrong for just saying his thoughts. the “consequences” discussion makes me see this from a different perspective. If a new shadowdark character can be rolled in microseconds in the character builder, doesn’t that DIMINISH the stakes of character death considerably compared to a 5e build that took you hours to build and write a novella of a backstory? Who’s got more to lose in a fight? Random-generated goblin with a random-table name? Or Bralwith the sage dragonborn Wild-magic sorcerer who dipped two levels into Ranger and is 7th of a named family line to be cursed with wild magic? Oops the goblin died but the character has already been replaced by another rando. No harm no foul. It’s an interesting question. Perhaps the real stakes all along has been… commitment of our time?
