[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 2954633, member: 1210"] Frankly, from the way you describe your record of knocking them out but rarely killing them, I think you're in a fine position. I'm usually interested in where just about every pc is going with their 'story', but I also bear in mind that new pcs are likely to have 'stories' just as interesting! :) :cool: In other words, I kill pcs left and right, especially at low- and very high- levels. Edit: One thing that I did in order to have my cake and eat it too was throw in a [i]rod of resurrection[/i] (this was back in 2e; now iirc it's a [i]staff of life[/i]). This was great! It let me take the gloves off without just smearing the party across the landscape. Well, permanently, anyway. :) And when the [i]rod[/i] later turned out to be the centerpiece of a plot to restore the evil antichrist figure of the campaign's main religion to life, the pcs had an awful sense of responsibility about it (after all, they were the ones who used the rod on the corpse!).
