[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7613942, member: 6987520"] I disagree completely. I discussed this point with my table yesterday and they agreed: you put in the time, you level--there just isn't a feeling of struggling or accomplishment really. A lot of this comes from the ease of avoiding death. We implemented a new house-rule concerning Revivify (as this is particularly an issue): [I]When you are the target of Revivify, you must make a death save.
