[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 4730309, member: 5143"] Yeah, but if I was the Dwarf in the beartrap and I died instead of being saved at the last minute like he was in the podcast, I think I'd be a little annoyed. What does the party do now? Do they head back to town in order to get a Raise Dead? Do they continue playing while I make up a new character? If they leave and come back will we have to spend another hour or 2 killing off the same monsters as they reinforce the place? Especially when it makes such a huge difference. The people in the podcast were completely oblivious, so they didn't notice the mistakes. So, they had lots of fun. But, if I died and at the end of the battle someone said "Oh, the Avenger has 4 less to hit than he should, the cleric hasn't been adding his bonus due to Righteous Brand those 3 times he hit this battle." I'd be the first one to ask the DM if I could get brought back to life for free since we weren't playing with the rules and it's fairly obvious that if the Avenger hit with all of his attacks, I wouldn't have died. I'd also likely be told by the DM that I couldn't, and that next time I should remind them so we didn't forget the rules. [/QUOTE]
