Heh..Champions is very "comic book" feel. You fight, and recover,
fight and recover. I've done this 10+ times in the average game.
To kill a character you have to purposely try and do it.
AD&D is always twisted, but its still fun. (I remember riding on
the back of a dragon, stabbing it repeatily with a +3 dagger, somehow
I lived through it, go figure).
