Your dm choose not to crush your guy with no way to come back you should be happy. he pulled a punch as a way to keep you around most people wont. personally i killed and mutilated my friends characters every chance i got. it was fun.you asked about what else can a dm do when creatures are rolling 20 while the party rolls crap simple hand out what i call character points.  Character point is earned for dozens of reasons. figuring out a difficult trap handling a sistuation in a way i could not for see. sometimes (not often) as simple as getting up and get me a new drink so i could continue to be lazy. but a character point was worth one reroll of any die at any time. which is the simplest way not to be forced to pull any punchesYet another solution requires a priest and one that understands what his real role is and how he gets his powers. i had an entire party on the ropes and i mean 8 players 6 npcs dead, dieing, trap, on fire, frozen, chunky. their opponent was a insainly powerful wizerd with a group of loyal and powerful followers. the last person who wasn't total dismembered was "Reithos" a powerful lvl 16 priest for the god tyr. when i turn to him discribe the scene in a horrific detail and then ask. "what do you do?"  he thought for only one second stood up and said. " i drop to my knees and pray and beg my god to help us save me and my friends."i was so shocked at his perfect answer that i gave him what at the time i call the touch of god. I return him to full life recharged his holy hammer that he had expired on his journey through the tower. He restocked every spell he knew and for the next few rounds i made him impervious to every spell under lvl4. boosted states and let him go on a savage killing spree. a little much? yes! But i was impress he did the one thing i never thought he would do. He remembered that all his powers are given to him each day by his god for the amount of praying and the need of them that day. and since they entire party at the time was working to save the world from an evil wizerd who worked for the lord of the nine hells i figured tyr would gladly assist his servent who was in desprate need. i honestly thought the entire party was dead. i had a back up plan for such a thing they were simply going to be revived as and put under control and other binding spells forced to work for the evil wizerds they went to defeat until further notice.good players will always surprize you. any dm can always kill you great dm's turn death in to a plot device.</blockquote>
