What are some seemingly dumb or clever ways you've seen or done to player characters to kill them? Or even cool ways they have died?
The dumbest way for a character of mine (10th Rgr) was opening a door in a basic orc lair and being sucked into outer space :surprise: no saving roll etc. just "you're dead." :crosseye:
Now, you can imagine the "discussion" that went on after that little event.
I mean, what was the logic behind that "trap?" What powerful entity said, heck I'll waste my energy & emmense power creating a doorway into outerspace in this rat-hole of a tunnel?
I believe that if a player is going to die (especially if they've spent a long time leveling up) it should at least make sense and possibily be exciting & "heroic." (Of course there are a million normal ways to die in a RPG world)
I would never have a player if they "fumbled" and the results = slip and die from hitting his head on rock. How exciting is that? Much better to overwhelm them with a mass wave of monsters or battling one elite creature.
