[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 2954818, member: 13703"] Ourph, while I personally would like to see what happens to the PC's, I don't think that the players would necessarily have a hissy fit and refuse to play any more if their character died. I, and imagine the players, might just be a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see what might have happened to that particular character. The character's backstories are not central to the plot that it would cause the campaign to come to a crashing halt should they happen to die. They are more side plots that kind of get more developed as the campaign goes along. It is not so much a particular quest but more like how the characters develop and change and deal with certain things as they happen. Also, one player has a particular character concept (an Ice Mage) that I would like to find out how it goes compared to other characters of a similar level. Having said all of that, no characters have died so far and, even if they did, there would still be the whole resurrection/reincarnation, etc., path that we could go down to bring them back. I still haven't really defined how common ressurection magic is in the campaign as it hasn't come up directly yet. I like the PC's to have access to it for the very reason that they can continue to play the same character if they want to. At the same time it can mess up the verisimilitude of the campaign. Situations like that though just want me to tell verisimilitude to take a hike! This is our story, to hell with what it thinks! :D Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
