Its just two different ways to get at a similar outcome. I do see GameOgres point though. You take control over the character away from the player (since he could be killed by a random GM roll with no way to stop it or even a chance to roll against it). You would be well advised to only use this ru...

No save is deal breaker for me. If you skip saves for spells the game breaks down. Think about it. Your players 12th warrior who has taken two years of playing to level to this mighty level is in a fight verse a evil wizard. The wizard makes a lucky break and goes first!

I'm currently running the Goodman Games module "Dungeon Crawl Classic #17 - Legacy of the Savage Kings" and the players just started getting in deep into the swamp. I'm tempted to make some rules changes based on various house rules I've found on these forums and on other C&C pages but...
