    I suck at roleplaying but last night the DM asked why I was the only one sad about a guy in our party dying lol

    I gave myself a self-imposed -1 as I fired off arrows through my tears

        Last week a different player died in the exact same way…two crit fails against Phantasmal Killer. I cried then, too, but my sadness manifested in destruction and I landed all my shots

        This is my first campaign and the party’s 500th so I guess they just weren’t phased by either death

          I’d be bringing one or both of those characters back as a “you left me for dead and didn’t even shed a tear” anti-villain

          (They’d obviously spare you as long as you didn’t pick a side)

            (friendly reminder that I’m a newbie who doesn’t know how this works) we were going to take the first guy’s body back to town to find someone who could resurrect him but the spell only works on someone recently deceased so we left him propped up in a chair. Last night we “found” his new character trapped in the next room of the dungeon. After killing the bad guys, he revealed that he had a res spell and we were able to bring back both…but as a random race.

            The char that died last night was originally a gorillaman who was reincarnated as a spiderdude. His new incarnation is…a lizardguy.

            The first character was a human rogue brought back as…a human lol

    I have the opposite problem, my players love to infight about everything. It’s all roleplay, we are great friends and we laugh the entire time, but one of them has assumed the role of Captain of their ship, and barks orders at the other player’s PCs and it just devolves into chaos as the Orc Barbarian and Human Wizard try to interpret the wild and dangerous orders of their Goblin Captain. I haven’t tried it, but I think if I didn’t reign them in, they may go at it all night.
