He was great, went through about 6 characters in that span, all of them very colourful and well played, but inevitably dead. The first character was most notable. A cavalier with a knack for weird weapons (usually someone else's). We were attacking a goblin artillery unit before they could get the ballistas in place. They had ogres hauling the things and the Cavalier was deadly in a charge, howevr he decided for somestange reason to charge past a charging ogre and literal steal the ogre falchion and use it on the next ogre. Figuring he would take out of combat 2 Ogres in one round. Well the first part went amazingly well, due to really good rolls. Bouyed by his seeming goo luck he switches tactics and decided to vault over the remaining ogres onto the Ballista. More good rolls follow and he almost makes it. He manages to roll off the imaled horse and onto the ballista platform and for some reason seeing his predicament decides to chop the bow rope of the ballista. He shears through it destroying the ballista and shouts "Hah". And is promptly chopped into mincemeat by the 6 ogres surrounding him. Typically his characters would die in circumstance where the enemy would attack and retreat (we were facing a lot of hit and run from goblins and kobolds). His last character was an Indiana Jones style Ranger who died while chasing some kobold archers who had annoyed him past his boiling point. They lept a pit with the use of ropes that were clearly designed only for light weight creatures. He figured that if he lept and grabbed one in each hand then they should hold his weight. The key was to get both. He did. However the DM asked for his sheet. DM:"Phil, you realize that you have a suit of magic plate mail in your backpack"Phil: "I know, I'm wearing my leather armour so that I can get my off hand attacks"DM: "Ookaay (rolls), both ropes break. and you see the glimmer of dark liquid as you plummet down the pit.Phil:"I dive"DM: Its only oil coating the floor.Phil: "Ouch".we animated the Ranger into a Zombie and Phil successfully played him for the rest of the day. It really was the best choice as he couldn't run after anything.</blockquote>
