Killer DM

Today, I was told that I had a reputation as a killer-DM. I would like to take this moment to speak out against this un-earned reputation. Examples of events that have happened in my games where a PC died or was turned into an NPC:

• A character took off all his armor and wielded level-inappropriate

weapons to fight a fully-armed and armored fighter of equal level in solo combat. Even when the character saw that he couldn't win, he didn't run away (which he could have done successfully with the fighter only able to move 20' versus his 30').

• A character, after witnessing a lich being bathed in a large

shadow-flame from which it was difficultly coaxed out of decided to reach into the vortex of pure negative evil and was struck dead from 20d6 negative energy damage.

• A character cast a fireball at Death, who was very peaceful and on

vacation. 'Nuff said.

• A group of adventurers, after having defeated the main boss of a

dungeon and completing their objective decided to explore the rest of the dungeon while low on health and out of spells. They stumbled into a pair of ogre zombies and were executed.

• A character, drunk on the possibility of power, formed an agreement

with a vampire to slay priests of a local temple. He employed a local stable boy to deliver a note with Explosive Runes cast on it to the temple. A priest opened the note on the spot, killing both the priest and the stable boy.
