| Back in the days of 2nd ed. I played an Elven Bladesinger in a solo campaign. I was crawling through a long tube in the dark, trying to escape a big party of drow. At the end of the tube was some kind of barrier, that by the DM's description, I interpreted to be an ooze of some kind.
So... I drew my dagger and threw it at very close range into the "ooze".
I was dead within a couple of seconds.
It actually wasn't an ooze at all, but a trap: a huge bag of holding stretched over the end of the tube. Cutting it from the inside opened some kind of planar rift, I was sucked into another plane and asphyxiated pretty quickly.
I felt like it was a really cheap move on the DM's part and was seriously pissed. But he didn't budge, saying I could have figured the trap out if I had played a little smarter. I still miss that character...

| My geeky-creepy-friendly necrotheurge was bludgeoned to death by literature. Seriously. The books in a library were trapped to animate if anyone touched approached the shelves they were on. Apparently 2d6 books animated per triggering, and each book hit at +10 for 2d8 damage.
My necrotheurge was attacked by 12 books, 11 of which hit. Took something like 95 points of damage.
Shoulda waited for the movie.
(Seriously, though, that's an incredibly vicious trap, especially when you consider the character type most likely to trigger it: wizards.) | |

| We lost an entire party to stupidity...
Our DM would put items in the treasure designed for a particular character. He did a great job of rotating this. One of our players would always try to get the items designed for someone else. It was obvious and he was just being a jack@ss. We have kicked him out of the group since then.
During one of these arguements over treasure, we were only halfway paying attention to the DM as he described a puff of yellow dust that blew out of a chest as we opened it... Filling the small room we were in... Well, you might have guessed, it was Gas Spores and we were to busy trying to keep Matt in line that we just didnt pay attention. We all died in our sleet as the spored did there trick.
I was running a Cleric/Druid at the time and could have easily cast Cure Disease...
It hit me as the words came out of his mouth.... You are all dead!

I understand about being attacked by inanimate objects.
My one time sorcerer, (named Ghendar in fact) was killed by a door trapped with a finger of death spell.
Earlier in his career, he was attacked by another door but not killed by it. | |

| | We had an awful DM for a short while. The thief was trying to open a lock, and the DM said "A needle jabs your finger and you take a point of damage" We ask if there was a poison save. He says nope. So the thief does it over and over and takes a point each time. Drops dead from needle jabs to the finger.[xx(] The same DM made us take 2 and a half hours to buy our equipment for an Al-Quidim campaign because there were rules for Bartering and he wanted to use them. It ended with one character getting so mad he just gave up and sat in the street, and the guards attacked him for some reason. We got a new DM quickly. | |

But that's clearly non-lethal damage, being jabbed in the finger! And what sort of idiot would trap a door with a trap that would only do any good if the guy trying to open it took about 30 tries? | |

| I will have to bring up a Call of Cthulhu death scene... We were in a narrow tunnel squared off against a guy who just happened to turn into one of the lesser Great Old Ones right in front of us. We promptly screamed and one player said that he would take him and pulled out a six pack of dynamite. He dropped lit the fuse very close to the dynamite and dropped it right between him and the big ugly. The ensueing explosion did an excellent job of denying the monster the chance of ripping our group apart because the dynamite did the job for it.

| Most embarassing ... when you've been playing 25 years, you have a good selection to chopose from. Here are my candidates:
Rogue/Wizard backstabs a flaming wizard in 1st edition rules. The foe is using a fireshield, which I should have recognized, and I take double damage back on my backstab, killing me.
My 5th level wizard is crossing a rope bridge with the rest of the party when we're attacked by gargoyles. I say, "Well, I guess my fireball would be a bad choice," but proceed two rounds later to use a burning hands on the gargoyle shaking the bridge right behind me.
My 1st edition barbarian chased a wizard into magic darkness, not knowing there was a water filled pit 10' into the darkness. The barbarian eventually drowned (while the wizard flew away).
My 2nd level 3.5 paladin was at full health (~20 hit points), when we came across a single ogre. I had only a melee weapon at the time, and had rolled a bad initiative. By the time I was able to go, the ogre was pretty wounded and was not going to attack until everyone else had gone, so I decided to let someone else finish it. The party's halfling rogue challenged my paladin's manhood, so instead of holding off, I charged in (knowing that if I were hit on the AoO, I'd likely still be awake, and would not be killed ...) The ogre hit me on the AoO with a critical hit and killed my paladin by exactly 1 point of damage.

| Many years ago I had this Elf fighter. He was soloing and got into combat and almost killed. Because he was unconscious the city people thought he was dead and took him to a morgue. When he awoke he was naked except for this blanket over him and it was storming outside. He wrapped himself in the blanket and went out.
I think he did search for his stuff but could not find it.
In any case by random luck a thief spotted him and thought the blanket was a nobleman's item and backstabbed the elf killing him not realizing he had nothing else.
I liked that guy and was pissed that he got killed. That had to be over 20 years ago - 1st edition. | |

| | me and two other PC's where trapped on a tower by a Monster. (I can't remember what) I was the main fighter and wanted to get up front so that the other would have time to do thier thing. (Magic and what not) So I drank my potion of invulnablity and jump off the tower to engage the creature.

| thee most embarrassing way i died was in 2nd edition........I was playing my gnome assassin, Gribling Thistletoe.......I was on a ship sailing to an island for a quest when a paladin in my group completely be-littled me in front of the rest of the crew.......gribling was the type that didn't take crap from anyone, no matter how big they are.....so.......he, um, how do I put this, from the crows nest he "whipped it out" and did his deed on the paladins armor.......well lets just say the paladin didn't take kindly to that......But he didn't die yet........thinking gribling got away free and clear he walked into the palace we were invited to......little did he know that the kingdom we were headed to was a kingdom heavily populated by, thats right paladins and holy-types ...
He strode into the party thrown in our honor and tried to pick their pocket, but failed and the paladin he "did his deed" on ratted him out for "doing his deed" on his armor and they paladins tackled gribling to the ground, tore his pants down and chopped of his wee "wee wee". he died from blood loss and was ressurected by a necromancer who then gave him a glove of flensing so he could get his revenge on all paladins by flensing them and ruining their good looks(thus lowering their charisma score)......later on we went on a campaign that took gribling on to be the god of cowardice and backstabbing.

| I was playing a Cthulhu game trying to solve a murder. The six of us tracked down the house where we thought the murderer lived got out of the car, and killed what we belived was the head bad guy. True to any horror themed game/movie/book we where wrong.
Our occultist found an alter and before he started studieing it he cast a protection circle around it, and told us if anything happens run into the cirlce.
four people went around behind the house where an animated scarecrow (the true murderer) ambushed us, and killed a friend. We paniced and booked for the cirlce. Me being the slowest I was about to be overtaken (but was sure I could make it if I jumped) when the occultist (who never fired a gun before) gets the bright idea maybe he can take this thing down.
He shoots... me in the leg. Down I go, and I am soon reduced to a pile of gore.
I love the old Call of Cthulhu. I have never survied a game [:)]. | |

| Going back, way back to when D&D was just D&D no "A" no version #. My two most off-beat deaths:
1. Squashed delivering a possessed foal from my warhorse that had been mystically impregnated.
2. Shot by Hoppits transported back in time from Gamma World. For those who don't remember them, Hoppits were the mutant rabbits with machine guns. (watch out for that rabbit it's dynamite.) | |

| I haven't had the misfortune of dying yet, so I don't have anything to choose from.
But on my last adventure, I came very very very close to having a very stupid death. We were in a floating castle thing (450 feet above ground). We went through room after room with no fights and one trap after another after another. My character is a dwarf fighter. We came across this long, wide bridge floating above the 450 feet distance to the ground below with nothing in between. Our group has 8 characters and seems to have real difficulties making decisions cohesively and firmly. It seems like we sit around and chat about what we're going to do in a given situation for at least ten minutes before choosing and actually doing something. It gets old. We were going through this lengthy chat about how to handle the bridge, when something set me off and I just decided to charge across the bridge (80' across). At 40', the DM says roll a reflex save, and I think, "ooooooppps..." I have a Dex modifier of +1. I have a really low reflex save (+3?) for being 9th level. I failed. The DM said that the bridge pivots on the center and is starting to dump me to the ground below. I think 450' has got to be plenty of distance to have a pancake dwarf. I think, "Bye, good buddy...bye nice sword...bye nice armor...." and I thought there was no way whatsoever to avoid it.
But the monk and the other dwarf are at the beginning of the bridge and both have a chance to catch the bridge with a reflex save. Fortunately, the monk has a ridiculously high reflex save and makes it. If not, this would be my most embarassing story and probably for quite a while. | |

| My most embarrassing death was very recent. For various reasons we had to fight some kind of a giant frozen worm creature next to a giant mammoth pen.
The worm went after the mammoths and the fighter and rogue chased after it.
I moved up and summoned an astral construct to fight the worm.
Next round it comes around to my action and I realize that I need my focus back if I want to be effective. So I spend a full-round action regaining my focus. My DM asks me "is that it?...OK?".
I was standing in the exact middle of the entryway to the giant mammoth pen.
The very very afraid giant mammoth pen.
So after 12 trample checks later I was still barely alive though only would have a couple of rounds before bleeding did me in (I was unconscience). Except my construct was still going strong!!!
So my construct beat the heck out of the worm, and my DM reading further down in the creatures entry asks us "what is Deathburst 20d6 cold, reflex DC19".
I just started laughing, it had been a really long time since I have lost a character to genuine stupidity on my part and not just dumb bad luck.

| You know, I am absolutely sure that my characters have died in very inventive ways in the past. I cannot, however, remember how.
In my defence, the last time I played regularly was in the mid 1980s. Since then I have been a DM only.
Now, I have some excellent NPC deaths (and some PCs in my last campaign).
A couple of noteworthy ones:
1) The Large Black Dragon who was supposed to get away from the party to be a nemesis. In battle with the party (7 PCs and 3 NPCs) down to half hit points and going to flee on his action. Not one, but two PC paladins smite him (including the paladin mounted on dire wolf who charged & smote) and the rest of the PCs mop up. Dead in 3 rounds. Ouch.
The Black Dragon did have powerful allies and was resurrected, but it was not quite the same.
2) Human Blackguard from the same temple the Black Dragon was affiliated with. Rides a flying Nightmare into battle. Blackgaurd is slightly injured, but flying above the battlefield gloating over his escape. PCs decide not to attempt to hit the Blackguard in full plate. Instead they concentrate all firepower on the nightmare. Nightmare is brought down with a couple of excellent hits and Blackguard takes falling damage which hurts more than all of the hits the party have taken on him. Party paladins again smite at the right time, another dead enemy. DM whoops - Forgot to give the Nightmare armour/barding.

We were in this wacky - almost no-hold-barred campaign, and I was playing a young Dryad, who carted her oak sapling around in a wheelbarrow. We also had a centaur and a kobold-pixie mix in the party, so I wasn't THAT weird...
Anyway, I had to move to Montreal for university, and the DM wrote me out of the campaign. We had just been caught by our arch-nemesis when I left, and he made a special point to calling me and letting me know that in order to torture first my character, the villan ran my tree through a giant magic wood chipper -- and then to torture the rest of the party, he dropped my Dryad through it too.

| Hmm... probably had to be a certain bard/swashbuckler type I played many moons ago. Maybe 3rd or 4th level tops. Tried wooing an attractive lass at a social gathering to gain a prospective contact. My roll for her went really well... the roll for her overprotective older brother not as good. After a rather heated exchange of words I was challenged to a duel.
Feeling rather confident (and perhaps cocky) in my abilities I agreed, met at the appointed time/place and proceeded to have one of the worst set of die rolls I can remember. First hit went to me but hardly any damage, next two hits went to the brother and got me worried. Scored three hits against him for a whopping 2, 2, 4 which left him about 1/2 hps to my 6-7 left.
Tried to feint and tumble, failed miserably on those rolls as well and promptly got skewered by the brother who scored a critical. At that low level there was no way the party had the gold or resourced to bring him back. DM just shook his head and handed me dice to start rolling a new PC. Sad ending for a supposed swordsman. | |

| My dwarf who nearly had a very embarrasing death (see previous post in this thread) came VERY close to dying again last night. It wouldn't have been an embarrassing death this time, but it would have been my first death. He's level nine. We're doing a Dragonlance campaign and we got into a huge fight with a group led by Verminard. There was Verminard, four fighter/barbarian human types, a powerful wizard, an ettin, two ogres, and four draconians. My dwarf got 23 on initiative. I was counting squares and weighing the risk of running by an ogre to base the wizard and Verminard. The problem was, it would be a double move. One of our arcane casters won initiative and very successfully fireballed. It killed 2 of 4 draconians and both ogres. And it cleared a path for me to charge the wizard, which I did. I hit him pretty hard. Our ranger was also able to go before the wizard and finished him off before he got a spell off. Fortunately, this was after the ettin activated and moved up to swing over the wizard and Verminard to hit my dwarf (who had cover). After our other arcane caster failed a phantasmal killer spell on Verminard, Verminard attempted hold person on our wizard and failed. Then our cleric cast silence 10' radius on my dwarf and yelled to him to stay next to Verminard. Great plan. Unfortunately, Verminard was able to throw some amulet down the pit to summon some kind of fiery dragonlike creature as our party mops up the rest of the group.
I had 37 hp left. The fiery creature has some kind of ranged touch effect that can do massive damage. There are ten of us he could target. The DM rolled a d10 and I won the lottery. It targeted me and hit (I have a lousy touch AC of 11). He started picking up LOTS of dice and I knew I was going to be a goner. If it hadn't been for the fortitude save (I got about 20 on the save and made it) my dwarf would have been gone for good. I took 30 damage (it would have been 60). That was a relief. The party dispatched of the creature rather quickly after that. | |
