YES! omg LOL!!! it's character deathI really hope you mean 'character' in the bolded.
And inability to afford revival at low levels (the churches would charge for the service too, right?) is a large part of why low-level play sees a lot of character turnover. It's just part of the game, IMO.
Yes, while the churches do offer the low-level service, they would charge for it which is still quite pricey depending on the situation. Again, that's just in my games though, not everyone follows that rule lol I agree it is just part of the game, and it's something I see as a learning tool, if a character dies at lower levels, then it's a character, while invested in, it's not too invested in that the person has a lot of attachment to. I could see someone who's got a level 15 or 16 being upset about loosing that character, but a character lost at level 3 or even 5 isn't all that much of a loss if you ask me. It's a great way to show a new player that actions do have consequences. Now, there are DMs that can be rather egregious when it comes to fitting a punishment to a "crime" as it were; but even with that I think it's just that the DM needs a bit more experience in the game is all. I would have to say. I mean, even with that though, I guess it would depend on what type of law system is in that world that the DM is trying to depict as well.
