Part 1: Personal opinion/hypothesis
Save or Die means any effect that causes it's target to be immediately removed as a threat for a long period of time.
Save or Die spells often come under heavy criticism, and where largely eliminated in the fourth edition. It is my feeling that these spells are useful when used correctly by a skilled DM.
Save or die works because the Pc's are the sole purpose of d and d. They tip the balance for casters in " arena combat", but work in campaign because PC's most always have several daily encounters. However, they should be used against the PC's sparingly, and major villians should have some form of protection.
Please share any Save or Die experiences you have had. This data will be used in Part Two.
