The timing is important. I want them to have begun to get a feel for the character. But then, especially if they have stopped being cautious, if they've started thinking their character is invincible, I stomp them.It is a wakeup call that the actions of your character have real consequences in game and regardless of how powerful they think they are, there are always more powerful things in the universe.Usually I'll temper the death in the next session with them waking up naked in a dungeon cell, or being pressed into service of the BBEG they were working to defeat, or any number of plot twist situations.I'm the DM, so hitting your bloodied value expressed as a negative number can mean permanent death, or it can mean your character is now my plaything.</blockquote>
