Wizard PC dies, returns as Invoker

That's right, cause good DMs know that when you want to punish a player you take their stuff.

The deva wizard in a short-lived game I played in was the only fatality - He summoned a storm and rode it into a purple dragon in cinematic fashion. After reading this thread I wonder what he'll come back as!

Heh.

The PCs' armaments were stored in the goblin armoury, which happily was in the same cave as the prison cell! They used some sneaky mage hands to bring their key gear into the cell before staging their breakout. (Which involved ranged attacks, from memory, while the player of the dwarf fighter made rolls to try and bend the bars.)

Out of interest, did your friend build the new PC to reflect the old one? My player did that as much as possible - same skills, same stats (but for a WIS/INT swap), and the wizard multi-class feat to give himself Thunderwave 1x/day to keep at least a bit of that wizardly feel. (And I gather in due course he is going to use another feat to get back Arcane Gate, which was his most-loved utility power.)

He reflected the old PC narratively but I don't think mechanically very much. I don't know if he had any of the same feats but he shifted his primary stat from Int to Wis and his secondary stat from Wis to Con (so he could be a Wrathful Invoker).
