I had my first pc death in my 4e campaign last night!
I'm a pretty notoriously high-fatality dm, and the party has made it through probably close to a dozen sessions without a death. Finally, last night, in an intense "jump from floating log to floating log across a river while under massive fire" combat, we finally had one.
I was starting to worry that 4e's lethality rate was too low for our taste. Glad to see that I was wrong- and I'm also really happy that it looks like pc deaths are most likely in serious, hard encounters.
