I went into today's game knowing full well the party was in a situation where several or all of us might die. Therefore, I made sure to bring my laptop with me to help with creating new characters.
Sure enough, two of the five of us did not survive (I was 5 feet from escaping before our half-orc barbarian did something stupid that ended up getting me killed, but that's not the point). Turning on my laptop and opening up the sheet, I was able to create a whole new character in minutes. For the other unfortunate party member, the DM (who is also a sheet owner) opened his laptop used the sheet to help with character creation.
The result: thanks to the sheet, the two of us were able to create entirely new characters in the same amount of time it took everyone else to level up with their pen and paper sheets! Not too bad.

Thanks for sharing this! (and I *AM* curious to know what that dummy Barbarian did ! )

Heh-heh, rather than running for the exit we came from like my ever so intellegent dwarf socerer, he decided to open a door leading back the way we were running away from. I think his intent was to go back aid our already fallen comrades, which was nice of him, but they really should have been left for dead. Our cleric, who had a clear understanding of what was going on, had told us "Fly, you fools!" and was sacrificing herself to distract our foe while we ran away.
Unfortunately, the door was trapped with some sort of noisy sonic trap that alerted the Erinyes devil to our location. She promptly teleported right where we were and shot two flaming arrows into my back. (Note: being invisible doesn't help agains Erinyes devils, blast it!). I ended up bleeding to death on the steps of the shrine, 5 feet from safety.
Ironicly, the stupid barbarian eventually ended up surviving by shutting the door behind him while the devil was killing me and finding a place to hide until the devil gave up looking for him.

Isn't that always the way? The one who gets everyone else killed is the one who survives?patransom wrote:Heh-heh, rather than running for the exit we came from like my ever so intellegent dwarf socerer, he decided to open a door leading back the way we were running away from.

Remember, patransom, by the Unwritten Code of the Role Players, you are now justified in creating a character who hates and despises barbarians, taking every chance to embarrass and humiliate any member of that class so unlucky as to cross his path, and being fully justified in leaving one of the accursed to suffer a ghastly fate.
