[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 3100829, member: 1165"] In my Modern campaigns, near deaths have been caused by humans, but one PC was killed by a dog, another by a crocodile. (Near deaths included sniper fire, hails of automatic gunfire, car crashes, grenades, and poisoned daggers.) For DnD, as a DM I've only had that happen once. A vampire dominated a telepath, who then manifest Fatal Attraction on the rogue. (Fatal Attraction forces you to coup de grace yourself.) This sort of confuses the issue of who was doing the killing *evil grin* In a 2e campaign where I was a player, we had this really dumb player who usually played paladins. He got killed lots of times by other PCs. Once he was playing a Red Wizard in a party that hated Red Wizards. He challenged the dwarf fighter PC to a duel without casting any defensive spells and standing too close to the fighter. Splat! Next he was a paladin, wearing holy armor and having lots of holy stuff on him. Due to some RP events he had a choice between being a fighter or an anti-paladin. He chose the latter. Zap! (Okay, that's Darwin Awards rather than PC-on-PC killing.) My very first DnD character (2e) was a halfling rogue. He was grappled or maybe tied to a tree, I forget with. A critical miss by a barbarian-flavored fighter led to him being cut open. Ow. I voted 1-25%, because of the one time a PC was forced to force another PC to kill themself. [/QUOTE]
