[QUOTE="a_kirby_ball, post: 2074686, member: 29472"] [b]tough times[/b] You are in a really tough spot with your initial trouble. I don't know what I would do with midnight, though with DND I always approached it by not approaching it. You know he doesn't want to die, let him know that it "may" happen. Then he will think about his actions, and you can keep him alive. I think that is the best way to go on your end. He does something heoric, and you fudge the dice because he helps your story line for him to succeed and live, and keeps the other players happy because he was probley saving them. As long as his anti-death attitude is alright RP wise, then don't worry about it. Obviously if he goes running 30mph off a cliff and thinks he is going to survive the 93933939 foot drop because he doesn't like dieing, you have a reality check of a new char sheet for him. I have had this one trouble once before, where I was worried I was never killing off my PCs and as such they were getting to big for their britches in my adventure. So what I did was plot with another player to have their character "Die" in the RP. All the other 'characters' thought he was dead because his body was in front of him...all the 'players' thought he was dead because I was handing him a new character sheet and he was cursing up a storm about how he shouldn't have done what he did. It made them realize their mortality in the game and for the next few adventures *even after he came back* they played with a new sense of prudence. So try something out =) be creative. I hope I helped a bit hehe:) [/QUOTE]
