[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2944892, member: 40076"] Seen it? Heck, I DID it! I was playing a monk in a campaign where it was pretty clear that my character concept didn't fit the outside world. (I was being a bit of a loonie, and created a monk who wanted to be the ultimate blacksmith, but the GM was running a very, dead serious campaign, and I wanted to make a new character.) So, i just started running my monk in a suicidal manner. I stopped asking for healing. charged into be a front line combatant. Three game sessions later (so... much.... plot... so... little... combat!) I figured out that my natural healing from resting (which i was marking down every day) was more than enough to overcome all damage dealt by the enemies that the GM threw at us. Finally, after a particularly rough day, I was down to 22 hit points (but didn't complain), and had a GMPC turned NPC challenge me to a duel. I set up a 10x10 space for us to fight in (the GM though I was mad). and we started the fight. The GM beat me for initative (I had 23, she had... well, a cat/human/serial killer hybrid) and got in the first blow... a sneak attack for 32 damage. I smiled and said "well, I'm dead". She smiled and told me that I was still in the fight. I told her "no, i mean i'm at -10. I'm 'dead'." She paled, and grabbed my character sheet, and pointed out how I should have a little ver 50 hp remaining. I told her that I hadn't been healed in several days, and didn't ask for any healing. She retconned that my monk had been healed immediately before the fight to full health, and started the fight over again. :p Darn it, i really wanted that character to die. [/QUOTE]
