At the start of the 1st game I set a 3 character cap. meaning if you go through 3 characters you are out of the game. This was the only guy who did. heres what happened.1) Fighter - Character seemed pissed off at the world. wound up getting arrested with the other characters and had to spend the night in jail (wrong place at the wrong time) when he got out the first thing he did was to rob the house of the local lords mother. He distroyed most of it in the process. when the characters found out whose house it was they turned him over for justice - afraid that they would be blamed for his actions. he was tried, not only did he show no remorse, he told the Noble to F' off. so he was hung. I told him you feel the rope around your neck, then a quick jerk and the world fades to black . . . right up to the end I don't think he thought I would kill his character or that the party would some how save him. After I tore up his sheet he rolled up #2.2) Fighter - he learned from the last one and didn't run him a a CE jerk. un fortuneatly for him he was captured in a large battle with some goblins and taken prisoner. Once the party caught up with those that captured him the goblins tried to negociate for their lives (there were 2 goblins hiding behind this guy 1 had a dagger to hus throat the other had a dagger to his spleen) The elven ranger said I don't make deals with goblin scum and fired 2 arrows. due to the cover provided by the other character he just missed the goblins, however he rolled JUST high enough to hit the cover/prisoner. I felt bad for him at this point because his death was not his fault and was really the result of a series of bad rolls - enter character #33) fighter  - now as this was his 3rd and final character and I didn't want a repeat of the 2nd one (and the bad blood between him and the guy playing the ranger) I introduced him as a henchman/bodyguard of a more powerfull NPC fighter/rogue who was traveling with them. This was ok because the party would leave him alone and he might last the night. anyway they were in a tomb and found some treasure (the rogue was holding party treasure until it was divided up - don't ask me why . . .)when this guys character saw a gem that no one else had noticed. he took it, the rogue saw him and told him to put it in party treasure, he said "what gem?" the rogue replied the one I saw you put into your right vest pocket. Reply -what are you talking about I didn't take any gem. At this point the rogue draws his sword makes a called shot and plases it aginst this guys neck (rolled a 20) and said " I will not permit those in my imploy to lie to me, produce the gem or I will cut your throat. Once again what gem I don't know what you are talking about. Rogue says "then Die" and procedes to kill him. this resulted in 1/2 the party turning on the rogue and rather then the whole party fight eachother the priest told him to just go, so he went outside, saw the claustrophobic ranger and said nothing personal but I can't have you track me for them and shot and almost killed him (the partys other rogue was right behind him and managed to stabalize the ranger.bare in mind that this all happened in 1 session it was . . . unbelieveable</blockquote>
