[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8706897, member: 6987520"] Or that death inspires others, which is what actually happened in this case. I've had many PCs die in my games. One of the most memorable was a love story between two elves. When the female died and resurrection failed, the male, along with all the rest of the party, traveled to the Outer Planes to beg Corellon to allow her to return to the mortal realm with her beloved. Corellon posed a series of challenges or tasks, one for each party member. If they all succeeded, she would be allowed to return. If any failed, she would never enter the mortal realm again. One by one each PC completed his or her task successfully, until the male elf was the last. He failed. So, instead of returning to the mortal realm without his beloved, he begged Corellon to allow him to remain. Corellon agreed, and so the two lovers bid farewell to the rest of the party, who returned to the mortal realm. The group played those characters for another 6 months or so before we switched games. It was the end of a 5-year long campaign running from 1st to 15th (roughly, depending on class) level. Death can be a great and powerful thing in a game and a story. [/QUOTE]
