I never understood the fear of character death in D&D. "How My Character Died" is one of the most memorable D&D stories. #Aeofel #WOTCstaff

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I don't mind losing a character that's had a good run, but when you've only played a session or two it's just frustrating.

If the character never had a chance to develop an arc, that would be frustrating. https://t.co/PyU0vPTdAF

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I am constantly vigilant for potentially heroic death moments. If my character's gonna die, I want it to be awesome.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I had my 1st player death last week.

Although it was one player killing another that had gone to the "dark side" (o__o)

I don't approve of characters literally stabbing one another in the back. Figurative stabbings, on the other hand… https://t.co/vRlZhFci74

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'll never forget my noble Paladin Valiance Truesilver who offered mercy to a goblin sorcerer and was subsequently disolved

— Captain Cuddles (@CptCuddlesYay) July 28, 2016

😝 No offense, but a paladin named "Valiance Truesilver" probably deserved to die. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/tZoHZ77pwT

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I think maybe old-schoolers are much more used to character deaths. Things were a lot more savage in the days of yore.

Yes. We had to explore dungeons in our bare feet because we couldn't afford boots. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/khBwVrqRdo

@ChrisPerkinsDnD And Wizards only had d4 HP and 2 spells a day until level 3. (If they lived that long)

My first character was a wizard with 1 hit point and the ventriloquism spell. Killed by a giant ant. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/zdThsclgWA

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'd love my characters to have some other cool, memorable moments before death, though

— Mel Eisvogel (@MonarchFisher) July 28, 2016

I think a DM should, whenever possible, allow a doomed character to say a few words before dying. #NoActionRequired https://t.co/0rdd6I2hQH

@ChrisPerkinsDnD my very first character death was a Half-Elf Cleric who died via immolation due to a Dracolich attack. He was only level 2

— Old Mate Jakob (@Occams_Lazer) July 28, 2016

Fighting a dracolich at 2nd-level? I don't think your DM had any long-term plans for that campaign. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/K92aSHdezw

— (((Chris Perkins))) (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) July 28, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD My favourite death was the time my 10th level elf fighter severed a Balor's head and was immolated in its death throes.

We've all been there. 😔😖😫 https://t.co/TNFBRHz9eD

@ChrisPerkinsDnD True story, I once killed a girl's character (with a crit) during a big climactic battle and she ran out of the room crying

You must be very proud, you monster. https://t.co/CyD8zhq9s4
