[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8712973, member: 6801228"] I'd still say that isn't true. Because once you are in the moment, you can see what the death for that character could mean. If they want to die by leaping from the tower and powerbombing the evil cleric into the portal to hell to stop the invasion, they absolutely have killed their character for a specific story purpose, and none of us needed to plan that. But that isn't the tone of the game (the DM's twist on the mission revealed what was really going on, all set up by our mentor who he has crafted for all of us to hate. To give you an idea, the mentor insists on being called "Bardalicious" We have all almost stabbed him already.) so it wouldn't have really fit into what we want to do with the story. And it certainly would be annoying for me, since I had to work with the DM and the other players quite extensively to make this character and fit them into the world. (briefly, the DM made a world where magic was illegal, so half the party immediately wanted to play mages. I wanted to play a barbarian elf, and was told that my people are basically a religious commune that absolutely despised magic. Which...
