[QUOTE="Rya.Reisender, post: 7639372, member: 6801585"] Definitely not. My guideline is "Try to kill the PCs, but never put them into any situation where they can't prevent their death." In other words if my players do too many mistakes, their PCs might die, if they play perfectly, their PCs don't die. No, unless there's something in the rules / scenario that would make that reasonable and my player voices the wish to continue as ghost. Nope, they definitely die, but death does not need to be the end. I'll continue based on my player's reaction to his PCs death. If he's like "Oh well, wanted to try another class anyway", then I start working out a new character with him and find a good background story that makes joining in at the current situation reasonable. If he's like "Oh no, I really loved that PC.", then I discuss ways for resurrection with him. For example his faction might pay for the raise dead spell, putting him in debt to his faction. Or there may be a quest line that leads to an NPC that does it for a favour. Or the PCs may capture an enemy who knows the spell and trade his life for a use a the spell on their friend. Or they find a scroll with the spell. Many possibilities. [/QUOTE]
