Thanks, but the thing is that he is a good friend, and contrary to what the others decided( not telling me until i came for the next session) he told me what had happened so that i will be prepared,and at first i did ask him to ressurect my toon with the belognings, but the thing is that in another campaign where my character also died, it was brought back.

The story is that my character had his throat slit during his sleep, and the dmgs was outright high enough that i would instantly die witout any death save.

But an hour earlier i had said to the Dm that i was buying a reinforced belt, but then we started discussion something else game or anime/cartoon related(geeks togheter...), and he completly forgot to give me the item card, and i to note that i had bought the belt.

And that Dm is really obtuse, but seeing that he allready did some nice stuffs for my character, like homebrew items, i ended the discusion about the belt.

But he told us a few days before that he will stop this campaign at lvl 20-ish and make a new one, but in this one, its PHB 1,2,3 races/classes/themes etc only..., to get something from another book you must win a quiz of some sort, and, i'm bad at this..., so yeah there is no chance in hell that i get one of his "Karma points" and be able to make my character and play it again.

So i convinced him that seeing that my char is a revenant Hexblade, that i'm healed by my Pact Patron and brought back to life, wich din't please 2 of the other players, because i won't be able to play him in the new campaign anyway, and that i would really like to play it at least to the Paragon tier, he agreed.

So i came back my equipment gone, because my comrades where oblivous to the fact that i wasn't really dead and they looted me( yes this time too), so i traced their way back to them, but because they where attacked by Doppleganger assassins, they where overly cautious of me etc etc, and in the end the gave my items back( bare for my Implement sword who one of them sold to a wandering merchant for potions, and anoter kept my fencing master boots...)

So it allready was a tense situation, because i really had to argue and talk them into it, so doing it a second time, even if this time i'm more legitimate, will be more tricky, seeing that one of the 2 players who din't like the fact that my char was brought back to life, will whine and bitch like a little girl(thats the one guy who makes atrocious amounts of 20's on his rolls), and my friend allready told me that this guy still hasn't swallowed the fact that my Hexblade was ressurected.

But the Dm and me had come to an agreement, i come with a reroll at the exact xp lvl has my toon was, i get 4 starting items instead of 3, and i get one extra item from my wishlist for the next 5 encounters, even if i don't loot anything, so yeah i made a good bargain and it will be the occasion to try a Figther|Sorceror.

But yeah like you said, there is a disrespect issue, but its not only me, its like this with everyone sadly, another player got his dwarf fighter send into a Ice Cyclone by the goliath barbarian for laugh, while the guy was absent, the dm rolled to see what would happen, 1-2 he fell a height of 10 foot and take Xd6 dmg,  3-4 its 20 foot high and XD10 dmgs , 5 he lands perfectly save on his feets and 6 he is send into the Elemental Cold Realm,...gues what he rolled...

So yeah 3 weeks after the guy still doesn't know that his dwarf is freezing his ass in an elementale realm..., but at least he is not dead...

Only you know what’s best for you to do, but imo this seems like one fu#ked up group your playing with.  Are you all trying to play evil guys?


What’s the rational that your party is even staying with one another if they keep backstabbing each other?  I couldn’t imagine role-playing a guy who is fine staying with a group of people who are constantly killing/looting him.


While it’s good your DM is “throwing you a bone” I wouldn’t feel obligation or even content with that, since it is the DMs fault you died.  Once again, if your character dies without you being at the table; something has seriously gone Fuc@ing wrong.


I think you need to sit down with your entire table and just talk; I know it would be a tense situation, but it sounds like there are some deep personal things going outside the game or amongst yourselves which is manifesting in-game by everyone being ass-hol@s to one another.


If you do nothing else; at least tell the table firmly you don’t want your character to be played unless you are present to play him. Period.

In my group a player who will be absent must take precautions for his character's preoccupation (business trip, planning, etc.) or safety (rope trick, wards, etc.) in the previous session(s); if he fails to do so and the character is "idle" the DM has license to play him as an NPC.  I find that it works pretty well.

Wow.  Yes, he is.  I had no idea he'd made a thread as well.  I really do want to give him another chance, but I'm not sure how the other players will feel.




In a bit late, but I hope you and the other players give him another chance.  From the tone of your original post, it seemed that your DM was a little bit shell shocked at how fast things got out of control.  In reading his post, it seems clear that it didn't end up the way he intended.  He wants to get better.  He sounds like a DM willing to listen to his players.

There's a big difference in my eyes between a DM who screws the pooch, and admits it and tries to improve and most of the bad DM stories I see here where the DM is overbearing, knows it all, and railroads the crap out of people.

It seems to me, this just got away from him a little bit and everyone paid the price.  Sure, he should have handled things differently, but /he/ knows he should have handled it differently, and that's the key.
