[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1091705, member: 9410"] Was it really necessary that he die, though? Suppose characters were tougher and more durable... Instead of dieing at -10 HP, they died at -Max. HP, instead, but still went unconscious at zero... At lower levels, you could even say that you died at -10 or -Max. HP, whichever was lower (so as not to hurt the non-D10 classes). Does it hurt the game? You can still die, but you're far more likely not to have dead archers who fell outta their tree. A fall from a cliff can still kill you (and will almost certainly knock you out), but one slip is less likely to end character development. Once a character is at zero HP, they are defenseless. They can be coup de graced in a single round. They can also be taken prisoner, dragged off to the Dungeon of Doom (TM), held for ransom, or sold into slavery (among other things). Seems to me, if PCs weren't dead at -10 HP, the GM would have a lot more options, once they were unconscious. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
