Saw Bob for lunch and proposed the reincarnation idea for when his character inevitably dies of Glass Cannon Syndrome. He's totally up for it, so problem solved--thanks, Interwebz!
Yeah, he and I had that conversation after the last session. He's a great guy and understands. (And rocket tag is the perfect analogy for what he's brought to my game.) For our next session I'm going to take a mix of these approaches, including more small stuff, ranged stuff, weird stuff, etc. but also some monsters that can genuinely stand up to (and return) his damage. When he inevitably dies in the next few sessions, there is a druid in the party who can cast reincarnation--bringing him back as a saner race of his choosing is a great idea. That even works well for his personal subplot, since there's a human woman that he loves but can't physically be together with (due to being a large rock creature). Thanks again to everybody for the suggestions so far! This is my first time starting a thread here and it's been a huge help. |
