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.
