Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kannon" data-source="post: 5632066" data-attributes="member: 95097">Sorry if I misexplained, too much blood in my caffeine system, I'm afraid.Specifically, what irked me was the idea that, without death, there is no challenge. There are myriad reasons to win besides dying. And the ways to lose, even if death is transient, are legion.Also to better explain, the PCs were completely immortal. If they did get "killed", they vanished in a flash of  mist and fire, and re-appeared, in a coma, in a watchtower at the edge of Cyre, where they'd take 1d6 days to fully recover. The Mournlands didn't really effect them, so it made a fair enough haven on the edge of it, since no one would really bother them.The Rapid Healing ritual (A reskinned raise dead ritual, once anyone else was dead, they were gone, and nothing short of a miracle would bring them back.) would bring someone up instantly, bloodied, and with no dailies and one surge.They never really bothered with the Mournlands and the Lords of Dust, (They later said they always felt it was waaaay out of their depth to do so.), so I never really explained their curious lack of mortality, they just used it to their advantage to regain the leader's birthright in House Orien, and help the scion of House Cannith bring his house back to prominence. (The party was out fixing up a Lightning Rail section when the Mourning happened, and they got caught in it.)So, very politically motivated players, with some dashing combat and espionage thrown in there. And dealing with the Dreaming Dark. Which also played nicely to the nice-in-public, swords-in-private game style. Fun campaign. Was a bit outclassed with the political and social maneuvering of the PCs. In a fair fight, I'd have lost 10 times over <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" />So the consequences were always more far-reaching than just player mortality. Hiding the lack of death and association with the Mourning was also a bit of fun.</blockquote>
