Well I've voiced my opinion on the process in previous threads. I will say though there is a big difference between dying in a gutsy and brave way (ala taking one with you as you go) and running yourself into deathtraps with no hope of even the smallest of victories** - jumping off a cliff several times to prove you are not afraid to die, isn't helping the war on magic IMHO. There are even passages in the Battle texts that warn about crossing the line on this one, so he shouldn't have been suprised at being called out on it.



** unless it's specifically your role to be that way.
