Message: <blockquote data-quote="jimmifett" data-source="post: 5677090" data-attributes="member: 55006">One of my players recently assumed that if a PC died, the campaign ended. When I asked why, the response was "well, everyone else is level 2 or 3 (all were level 2), and how would I keep up as a new level 1?" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> I then explained that the rest of the party would probably go back to town, check out the tavern, and poof, find an adventurer of equal level looking for action, or maybe find someone imprisoned in the dungeon that they can free who joins the party. The concept went totally over the player's head. "But what about all my gear?" *headdesk* Not too surprised really, this is one of my players that can't figure out the difference between LFR and an actual campaign, and is obsessed with the items at the end of the mod. Same player, during an LFR mod in which that player's PC was near death said "don't worry, i'll take the poverty resurrection option". I then told the player "No, you are near the end of heroic tier, you'll have pay the GP to be resurrected". The player balked, "I don't have that much money", as the PC jingled like a christmas tree of magic items. I informed the player, "If your PC dies, perhaps an ally can sell some of your gear to have you resurrected." The player then went on about not giving up any gear to which I responded "either the party can pool money to bring you back, or you can have some of your gear sold, but you are not taking the poverty resurrection clause if the value of your gear can support the GP cost. I suggest you make sure your character does not die if you like them." The player's PC survived just fine, and the player now has a newfound respect for the mortality of thier PC, but still grumbles about it. One of the many reasons I don't DM LFR anymore <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
