Message: <blockquote data-quote="Drowbane" data-source="post: 5867642" data-attributes="member: 23396">I am currently in a Pathfinder game where the DM does not believe in killing off PCs. Like at all. I really dislike this, as if there is no threat of death then it cheapens the game. At one point he even said we could "save the game"... I almost walked out...and I was living there at the time.No matter what WotC does, these things will always come down to DM style. In my games, death is a real threat and coming back from the dead is not as easy as just casting a spell and losing some XP or whatever. I am all for the party going into the afterlife to 'rescue" a fallen comrade. This will usually mean some sort of diplomacy with a Deity, who tend to be patterned after the Greek style of gods. "Why should I let you take Soandso the HPSponge's soul with you back to the Land of the Living, Mortals?"As a player, I tend to opt to make a new character if a PC dies... unless there is a strong pull for that character to return from the dead - such as an important (to the PC) quest that he must do or risk unrest for eternity. Few DMs have given me such a reason to bring any single PC back from the dead...</blockquote>
