Message: <blockquote data-quote="cmanos" data-source="post: 2879383" data-attributes="member: 25472">I had a D&D Game back in college where there was one player who kept on getting killed.  He would do stupid stuff and, bam...dead.  I was running through the Giant series.  He died twice in the Hill Giants...once after slipping behind a hill giant jailer and into the room he had just come out of, only to be grabbed by the carnivorous ape hiding above the doorway and rent in two.  I think he died a couple times in the Frost Giant area, and then in the Fire giant area he was beingr eally annoying, so I moved the 'garbage chute' underneath him and sent him down into a lake of lava.  His next character, a necromancer, decided he was going to be introduced to the party in the fire ggiant crypt the party had decided to hide in and rest.  He wanted to hide in a sarcophagus, cast corpse visage upon himself to make himself look like an undead, and pop out while they were making camp.  I didn't even have to kill him.  I told the party they were making camp, and what looked like an undead creature popped out of a coffin and started to cast a spell...he died in a round....I don't try to kill PC's.  I don't try to keep them alive.  I make it difficult enough that if they do something stupid, they will have a good chance of dying.  Also, my dice roll so horribly that when I do get a critical hit, I milk it.  Once in Rolemaster I rolled an open-ended hit...and ended up doing like 400+ points of damage to a character.</blockquote>
