I follow a decision tree like this-
1. Is the PC a paladin? If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 2.
2. Is the PC a gnome? If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 3.
3. Is the PC a wielder of the rapier? If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 4.
4. Is the PC a character with a silly name, like "Character McCharacterface?" If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 5.
5. Is the PC's player someone who consistently has to "use the bathroom" when it is time to pay for pizza? If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 6.
6. Is the PC the beneficiary of dice rolled off the table that are consistently 20s? If yes, then permadeath. If no, then goto 7.
7. Is the PC a kender? If yes, then permadeath. And permadeath again. If no, then goto 8.
8. Eh, dying isn't much fun. Depending on the campaign, resurrection or new PC.
New PC idea:
Gnomy McPaladin, the rapier wielding Gnome Paladin.
