[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5858981, member: 1465"] Ok, at this point I think maybe the OP should ask everybody else at the table if they are fine with making an arrangement so that the PC of this player won't die permanently - which doesn't mean he's immortal... just that if by chance his PC drops at -10, is turned to stone or whatever, the DM will alter the rules so the PC is just temporarily out of the game but can still recover. We had the same issue once, several years ago. One of the players in a group where half of the people joined from an announcement (and she was one of them) and the other half already played together. She asked the DM that her wizard character would be protected from dying, the reasons now don't matter but she was genuinely asking for this, not childishly. I think I would have been nervous to DM such game... but the DM accepted her request after asking everyone if they had an issue with it (I found it quite nonsensical at first, but I did not object). During the campaign, two characters died (including mine :p ), her wizard didn't die but also nobody else's PC did. I never ever had the feeling that the DM was protecting her character, but I guess I will never know if the DM was just good at hiding it! Fortunately her "special" character blended in with no problems. So perhaps you should try to be optimistic and just play the game. :cool: [/QUOTE]
