Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 3540346" data-attributes="member: 537">Death in D&D tends to be temporary anyway, what with raise dead, resurrection, true res and the like. I dislike resurrection with all of my body including my pee-pee. Well, okay, maybe not including my pee-pee. But still, I don't really like it.What I might do is, whenever your character dies, you have the option of treating them as still alive (just as you can choose whether raising your character is successful). If you so decide, you revive at the end of the encounter at -9 hp, or after 1 minute if you died outside of combat (HAW HAW). Effectively, you're treated as never having died at all; you just got lucky. That's because the gods were smiling on you, or the PC halo was working, or you're just too ugly to die, or whatnot; making up an in-game explanation is an exercise left for the reader.This does NOT work if you suffer a TPK. If noone is around to tend to you, it's curtains. However, because near-death experiences shake even the toughest hero up, and so that players will still treat death as somewhat serious, you're at a -2 penalty to all d20 rolls and AC for a length of time. Maybe a week.Based on the NWN2 system where all party deaths are temporary, unless a TPK occurs.</blockquote>
