Its up to the PC's to dig themselves out of a hairy situation. I have  instituted a Hero Point system for those times when bad die rolls rather than bad planning cause trouble and possible death for the PC's. I really don't like the idea of bad rolls killing a party of heroes. The hero point system has been a very effective system for keeping the PC's alive when bad die rolls would have killed them. It is also helps the story alot by allowing PC's to do things the rules don't cover like living when they should be dead.PC death is a part of any campaign. As a DM who invests alot of time trying to make it fun for the players I feel I have a stake in their characters. I don't really want to see them die unless I plan it or it is for a heroic reason. Sure reality is not so kind, but I play D&D to get away from reality. I don't feel subjecting the PC's to it is really necessary.</blockquote>
