[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7153613, member: 67338"] This whole thread is turning into BULL you know what somehow looseing my character for about a month or so (several levels of play) me not having anything to do for hours until this session ends and I can roll infront of the DM to make a new character is being compaired to being stuned for 2d4 rounds... play D&D long enough and you will spend an entire fight stunned/unconsiusss... after the fight you keep playing. In your example though you still get to play the whole time, so it's more like "Damn my fighter missed 2 saves and now has less hp then our wizard" wait... I don't remember something taking you off the board entirely...but even still after 20 or so minutes everyone starts again including you and on turn 7 you are right back in a game that a turn could be 5-10 mins, so even sitting out 6 is most likely less then an hour and that game takes hours to play so you could still play 3/4 of the game afterwords...see nothing like we are talking about I'm not sure at all if you understand this, but you can come back from behind in all of those games, and looseing a fun game is way better than not playing a game I will say that is a bad call, there is no reason another person who is a survivor couldn't just get to the hospital... and you sat doing nothing for 3hrs and 15 mins...and you see nothing wrong with it??? in 1998 I didn't have a smart phone, no one did. I didn't even have a real cell phone (I had an emergency bag phone) I went up stairs, asked the DMs mom if I could use the house phone and called and made other plans... I could not 'chat' with people without interrupting the game, I guess I could have doddled for several hours though... sit quitly or interrupt there fun... jokes or chating gave xp penelties in this game [/QUOTE]
