When I first started playing D&D many years ago, one of my characers ran into a forest to hide from a red dragon. Suffice it to say, he was roasted alive when the dragon decided to breathe fire over the entire forest.

I was playing a cleric in a 4E campaign with friends. We started at 11th level, and had made our way into a temple of tiamat. In the bottom levels of the temple we encountered a trap. All we needed was a successful religion check. I made the religion check on the carvings on the wall, on the room as a whole, but apparently failed to make the check on the altar in the middle of the room which was the trap. It kept mind controlling us and eventually just the rogue and my cleric were left. The rogue lived, as did my cleric, but he was taken as an evil npc by the dm and came back to haunt the rogue with his new group :P

My following three characters all died within 2 adventures. I think we were all around 10th or 11th level and my druid just died. He was eaten by a giant frost worm. I forget how but after it ate the druid the worm blew up and they found his limbs all over. We had no way to revive though so I was out of luck. So I decided to make a cleric as I have never been one before. I spent a lot of time on the character and went to fight my first monster very excited about it. I forget what the monster was but it hit me once and I was dead. We still didn't have a way to revive so he was a goner. I was never a thief before so my next character in the same game was a thief who also didn't last long at all. We got a deck of many things and I picked a card that sent my soul to another dimension. By the time I got him back I had already made a drow.

Being granted a wish and taking a week to come up with the perfect wish with no draw backs only to have a brain fart at the end and not realise that the complicated series of events you have caused to happen will in fact kill you almost immediately...

I was playing in a zombie themed game. And we were making noble attempts to rescue survivors and kill the zombie minions. Until... our Ranger rolled several ones, and a few twenties, in all the wrong places.
The first shot missed the zombie and killed the survivor. The second killed my brother's character. The third crippled me next to seven zombies. It was... it was funny to say the least. |

I had an insane demonbinder priestess of lloth break a no kill sanction in the temple becoming paralyzed by temple security measures (as a player, I hadn't read that part or something) and a sacrifice that I was prepping for the alter picked up my weapon, bashed my knees into pudding then crushed my face. Even the powerful can be Coup de Grace,

so a group i used to play with decided that it was time to end a SWRPG campaign that we had been playing on an off for almost 3 years. We were all epic leveled and had each played 2 characters, a munchkin power-gamer, and an off beat, but well RP'ed (for 15 year-olds) character. My Anx marshal artist (munchkin) finally got killed by taking special built uber-Rancor with him (that had been terrorizing the galaxy, but I had a Hoojib Jedi that didn't die but took out an Uber-Greater Krayt Dragon (think Great Wyrm on steroids) by accidentally getting snorted and getting lodged in the cranial nasal passage. He was forced to retire from active adventuring and was claustrophobic forever after...

I think the worst for me personally was having my rogue climb a tree to scout the surrounding area, only to fail the climb check when he got to the top. Then, he failed every climb check on the way down and impaled himself on the Barbarian's sword while he was sitting under it staring at his reflection.

I once had a monk who walked into a room occupied by bales of hay, and a conviently hidden delayed blast fireball. After failing my Reflex save, I took so much damage that I was reduced to a pile of ash.

I wasn't there for it, but was told about it by our DM.
__________________The group had just started a new campaign. One of the players was a min-maxer who had no problem bending the rules if it made him more powerful. While in a town being attacked by undead, they came across a man who proceeded to wipe everyone else in the city out with a wave of his hand. The min-maxer's response? "I'm going to charge up to him and attack him!" The man's response? Cause Massive Wounds, Maxed. |

I was DMing a game and had a player held up by 8 crossbowmen which were to lead him to the local lord. This was a story hook however the character was a monk and thought he could win. Next turn: failed the intiative roll...

I've ran a v3.5 campaign before now where the party were ambushed on their way to the final boss fight with one of them being killed (this is not the embarrising death). They then decided to carry their allies corpse with them and give it a decent burial when they had finished their business and defeated the boss. Unfortunately though, they were pushed back during the boss fight and when the large creature reached for the nearest object that it could throw as an improvised weapon, it found the corpse. Needless to say the attack roll with the corpse was a critical and one of the party members experienced death-by-flying-ally-corpse.
