Session one:
I need to stress that this is session ONE
>My character ends up decapitated by an ally
>who has a janky vorpal sword+0, rolling a 1, rolling what happens, it hits ally, then who to roll to hit, hits me, then rolling to hit, nat 20, confirm, nat 20 again.
>I fucking die.
>This is my first combat of the campaign, I am level 3, joined the campaign less than 30 minutes ago.
>They don't retcon that shit immediately,
>other party member uses HIS janky magical item, a rod of Resurrection

>I was at that point, the weakest member of the party
