How many PC deaths by template in my DF game?
I'm counting each time slain, regardless of whether it's permanent or was reversed, as once.
Out of 23 PC deaths:
Barbarian: 2
Cleric: 3
Druid: 1
Holy Warrior: 2 (both Asher)
Knight: 5 (3 of which were Hjalmarr)
Martial Artist: 1
Scout: 1
Swashbuckler: 1
Thief: 1
Wizard: 6
If you count NPCs, it gets messier. Much messier, as many aren't built off of templates. We lost 3 acolytes, for example, but many more generic fighter-types, squires, skirmishers, etc. and a couple more "wizards." Barbarian gets 2 more if you count Raggi, but he's not built off of the template. He's not a PC.
So clerics have been rough - 4 played, 3 killed. But wizards have been rougher - 7 played, 6 killed. Several have come back - which hasn't happened for clerics - but they've died more often.
You've had 4 Clerics and one is still alive?
ReplyDeleteWho is it? They aren't on the Active/Inactive Roster. And I only remember Inquisitor Marco and the one in the Cold Fen (whose name escapes me).
But then there are a bunch of PC on the Dead Scrolls that don't have occupations listed.
Yes, he showed up a few sessions ago.
DeleteI rarely update that roster.
You can click on the names and see the sessions they died in if you're curious about professions. When I get a chance I'll fill them in, but the information is out there!
For a split second I read your headline as the template doing the killing, turning Dungeon Fantasy into Traveller.
ReplyDeleteHah, but that does a question. it might not be the template that's a bit deadly, it might be the Player.
DeletePeter, I wonder if you could group the dead by Player? Say by clumping all the characters each person played together?
That will take some time to compile, as it's beyond a simple count and instead list all the PCs by player and then count. Plus it'll skew to the longest and most frequent playing players.
DeleteI mean, what we *really* need is a complete table that summarized all available data, including (1) How many times each template has been chosen; (2) How many sessions each character built using that template has been played for; (3) How many XP each of those characters has (4) How many times each template has died - and then breaks all of that down *again* by Player.
DeleteSo if you could get right on that, Peter, it would be appreciated :)
I'll add that to my to do list.
DeleteAwesome. This is why we pay you the big bucks :)
