He can't be a ruthless DM if you've never died. Ruthless DMs make TPKs (Total Party Kills) their trademark.

Oh, he's ruthless, all right. Or pretty close to. I mean , there's one guy whose died at least 4 or 5 times, and another who had his character baelful polymorphed into a fish...when we were in the middle of the grasslands.

Everyone's died at least once...except me, probably beacuse I've been really lucky. And i'm invisible most of the time. One fight everyone we had 2 dead people, two that had gotten turned into bodeks, and me and the paladin. :( THAT was a party.

Being the DM's girlfriend does generally allow for a bit of protection, whether or not they'll admit to it or not :)

I was one hit killed by apossesed Dwarven Defender once (my Cleric that is) but h only started attacking me after I took out 2 of the 4 there were. The DM I play with is a bit ruthless, if someone hasnt died in awhile, or the chractr is rahterlopsided, say a half-dragon barbarian, he'd focus all the attacks on them, or do something that thr whole party dies, but on that day i wasnt there, so no deaht for me, and he gives everyone 3 "lives" one by the church, one by a necromancer and one by his npc, after that we've got to make a new character, and being the only original haracter left, the whole of the chais realm is gunning for my head.
