Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rod Staffwand" data-source="post: 6476184" data-attributes="member: 6776279">I guess I'm one of those rare players that has the true skillz* to avoid having any of his characters die. I'm just that good. Legendary even...Plenty of PC deaths in our group during the middle school/high school era were marked with shouting and dice chucking. Several led to heated arguments but I don't remember anyone steaming off in a huff or anything. Some just immediately rolled up passive-aggressive characters and were kinda dickish about it for a while.The best reaction I ever got from one of my players, whose character died killing off a major villain and thwarting his nefarious scheme: "Cool. I'm pretty happy with that..."*True skillz in this case meaning whining, pleading, begging and/or bribing the DM to retcon the death. May also include fudging stats during character creation, 'remembering' a potion of extra healing, and cheating on dice rolls.</blockquote>
