Character Death High Score

[Jaçinto]

I just had my first character death in about a decade or more. My sixth level sorcerer got hit with 44 damage and was dropped to -14 with a con of 12.

Honestly, this feels kinda freeing. Now I don't need to worry about keeping my high score going and can open up to do more wild junk.

This is not a complaint, just a thing I find neat.

So, what are people's high score for going without a character dying? Oh and I mean legit character death, not "GM says you die."

The last guy I had that died was a barbarian in 3.5 back in, I think, 2005 or 2006, where I did a stupid and went PVP cause a player had a sorta "edgy" character. Damn I was stupid. Okay the player had a neat backstory and kept walking saying he was death. My dumb barbarian said "Death killed my father!" and attacked. I missed, hold person, coup de grace. I totally deserved it and it was so funny.

In one encounter? 3 and a dog. Which was made really interesting because it was a 6 player party with and APL of 3 and the encounter was CR 1.

Oh wait, you mean longest without dying. I'm going with the duration of an entire campaign.

In a decade?
Yikes! Do you not play much? Is combat rare? Is combat easy mode? Are you just that damn lucky?

In one campaign we've had something like 12 years without PC deaths, but friends and family, including children, have been killed off and that has been far more painful than any PC death.
I've had campaigns without losing a PC.

Far more interesting is how little time has a character survived. My first PC death was about 30 minutes after I started playing RPGs.
Shortest time between PCs was something like 2-3 hours, which amusingly enough was both in game and real life.

Bjorn, I GMed Call of Cthulhu and Paranoia, and played a decker/rigger in shadowrun. I know how to survive in a bad situation. Games are every saturday, combat is pretty common. I know how to use the terrain to my advantage, when to back off, and so on. I died this time because, well, I am not used to going under water and fighting a drowning devil. Movement is somewhat difficult and I got stomped.

I tend to be the guy that, when left to my own devices, takes over a city if I feel like it. My friends tell me I have a Machiavellian mind.
