But unfortunately, I just didn't leave myself any escape route.I *did* roll the dice in front of the players (I don't always, but I was just feeling dramatic) and so, since there wasn't any way to undo it without actually saying "Aww gosh, shucks, I  can't kill him! He's absent!", I couldn't undo it.If I had "pulled rank" to keep him alive it would have been unfair to other players whose characters have died in the past. The campaign doesn't have a high death rate -- only four PCs have died out of about 30 sessions -- but sometimes it happens. Although none of them died while they were absent, it still would've seemed like favoritism to let him live when the deadly 27-point greataxe came slammin' down on his head. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />JasonP.S. BTW, Mouseferatu, Ye Who Sometimes Speaks for Green Ronin, I didn't mention that it's an EGYPTIAN ADVENTURES/TESTAMENT campaign! Mythic Vistas rules!
