[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 7958646, member: 6921294"] Thats great. I may have told this story before but its worth repeating. In 2E a player was introducing a replacement for his dead PC. The DM tells us we see a lone figure approaching from a distance, gets within 10'-20' of us then cordially introduces himself. The parties Fighter/Berserker decides he's cutting this interlopers head off. He gets surprise on the stranger, rolls a natural 20 in his called shot and lops the guys head clean off. It was hilarious, at least for us who werent playing the abruptly deceased character. The whole encounter took maybe a minute or two of actual game time. Probably the shortest amount of time Ive even seen a character "in play", Before 3E this stuff was common place, PVP crime, DMs who made players sit out for long periods after after their PC died. There was a whole different paradigm once 3E came along, which I sometimes dont think was necessarily a good thing. [/QUOTE]
