[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9546263, member: 50987"] The last time I had a character die: my warlock was killed by a kraken. The scene: in the middle of a protracted battle scene, long after I had spent all of my warlock's limited spell slots, the kraken smashed our ship into pieces. All six of our characters were thrown into the water. The DM placed our characters at random on the battle mat (it was a 20x20 grid, we rolled a d20 twice to find our characters' X and Y coordinates). My character ended up all alone in the lower-left corner of the battle mat...adjacent to the kraken. Everyone else was clustered together in the upper-right. By the time our healer could stop drowning long enough to get in range, the kraken had already swallowed my warlock's lifeless body. So it was a tough call--I suppose I could blame the DM for putting us all in random locations, or blame the cleric for insisting on wearing [I]friggin' full plate [/I]aboard a warship, or the fighter for not [I]doing his friggin' job and killing the kraken before it could destroy said warship, [/I]but no. The blame lies squarely on the dice. [/QUOTE]
