Restating: it can (based on my experience) break narration, slow the game, reinforce gamism, increase acrimony, make revelations about the opposition (breaking tension) and make unchangeable commitments to a character's fate. Okay, point taken about the revelations about the opposition, but I don't know many people who are simply accepting that their character has died unless the dice have been rolled. There is, after all, always a chance that if the creature missed or produces an absolute minimum damage roll that they may survive for a round or two at least before their luck runs out.

Atgxtg Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'm not fond of death by GM decree either. There is a reason why we use dice to roll for things. In no small part because most people's "common sense" beliefs are factually incorrect. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.
