[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 706939, member: 8530"] Shortest lived character? That would have to be Floyd, a half-orc fighter. I had started a gnome assassin in the campaign who the party's employer had hired to spy on the party, and he joined claiming to be a thief. Two games into the module the DM made a Freudian slip, and totally blew his cover. To make up for his error the DM allowed the character an opportunity to escape, and then asked if I had a back-up character. I then pulled out my only back-up, a well-developed half-orc fighter who I had orignally rolled up and played at a gaming con. The party found him in the next room. The half-orc managed to talk the party out of killing him, but they decided that he should take point, and I was in no position to argue. The next room had a pair of trolls, who the half-orc began to attack. Rather than joining in, the party just sat back and watched as the trolls killed the guy (total role playing time, about half-an-hour). The party then attacked and defeated the already weakened trolls. I was given a generic gnome fighter NPC for the remainder of the module. I was a bit miffed, as I had DM'ed the group for the prior 14 months, and really wanted a chance to play one of my own characters for a change. [/QUOTE]
