Ring of wishing is all I need. Or a luck blade, that works too.

It'd be funny if we got a ring of wishing and someone else used it

Bah. Without me you would have perished at that magical fire trap.

Not nessasarily. It's the TPK principle. Most GM's don't want a TPK - That ruins everybodies fun, tends to derail the campain and some people might leave.

Therefore, the challenges faced by a party are generally tailored to the party - This means that lack of a rogue means traps are downgraded.

Of course, if we've got a pure Gamist GM, all that reasoning is pretty much worthless.

It's like that 'How many random encounters do you get?'

Total Party Kill. Happens when the DM misjudges an encounter or the PC's get really unlucky and the entire party dies.

On the subject of number of random encounters, see this comic.

Nice comic... now can we trust it to hold now that the GM has read it?

The Order Of The Stick? Read it regularly, ever since ... I think I picked it up when Narf first posted his comic thread.
