[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 2973614, member: 29398"] Or the now-2nd Fighter becomes someone else's hench (thus allowing it to stay around and regain ExP, slowly) and Bob rolls up a new character if he's not already running two. Of course, if the Spectre hits the Fighter twice more Bob's got an even bigger problem...he's now playing a weak Spectre... :\ And if the party can't pool their resources to fund a restoration, you're not giving out enough treasure. :) That said, one change I made long ago to restoration was that one casting would get back all levels lost in a single encounter, but if you lost levels at different times you'd need one restoration for each level (or batch). From another perspective, I usually try to make sure the campaign can survive the loss or incapacitation of one character... :] I use level-drainers on a regular, if infrequent, basis - and this in a 1e-based game - but I think I've only ever run one or two Rusties...must change this...soon.... :] Lanefan [/QUOTE]
