[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 703589, member: 1813"] Andy Collins wrote a nice section on this at the Wizards' webstie: [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/ei/ei20030105a[/url] Essentially, he recommends that save or die spells do 20d6+1d6/level damage. If you hit zero hp, you're dead. Also, a lot of the solutions that people have posted here were also suggestion in the ELH such as Epic Luck (a variant where you can re-roll x number of rolls/day). My own thought is that you should keep save or die spells but it is probably good to can Spell Power type abilities. My own PC died several times by insta-kill effects: Energy drained to death, killed by a Bodak's death gaze, CDG after succumbing to drow sleep poison, etc. I've learned from the experiences. Now I always have Deathward cast. [/QUOTE]
