Well, you see one of the players totaly ditched the D&D campian we had going just so he could play WoW. I still haven't forgiven him, so now that he wants to play again, I'm going to kill him untill it stops being funny.
Because I know I'm going to laugh when 4 tiny vipers kill him, and he can't whine **** all because it's CR of 1.3. It's going to be a good as when the displacer beast killed him.
It's mean but mostly fair, not my fault they never buy antidotes, and it woun't be my fault it the other players don't jump into the snake pit to save him. Some times the only way to survive an encounter is with foresight and total dependancy on your team-mates.
