Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retreater" data-source="post: 5635215" data-attributes="member: 42040">I invested myself in my character. Purchased and custom painted a mini, developed an indepth background to fit the campaign. I was the only player to take notes and email to all players. And last session, after 7 months of play, my character died. It was not a stupid death. Instead the party quicky got in over its head with insta-kill spells that dropped the barbarian. My character died heroically covering the retreat of the party cleric (same diety). An emotionally charged scene.I've been playing the game long enough to know this can and does happen. This is the way the dice fell, and I'm fine with it. What is not so cool is that the DM brings in my replacement character (with no access to raise dead due to a stingy party) at a level and a half lower than the lowest level character (whose player misses 50% of the sessions) and with less gear. Now my character has come in with no background or connection to the campaign and is the weakest party member.Am I right to be a little miffed at this? How would you handle it?</blockquote>
