Have you ever had one of your D&D characters die? Was it because of roleplay choices or just bad dice luck? Did you enjoy making and playing a new character or did you find it difficult to be ‘new to the party’ or to separate player knowledge and character knowledge?
Just looking to get some conversation started around here.
My first character death was in a kind of gritty setting. My character was a wild magic sorcerer, we got into our first combat and the spider-like enemy lept at me. This was only my second character and my first was an artificer armorer tank so I didn’t even think of being able to disengage. I tried to kill the spider, natural 1 miss. It then attacked me on it’s next turn and got a natural 20. Did enough damage to fully kill my sorcerer in 1 hit.
