[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 4085772, member: 55178"] Do you find that action-film conventions, like having Die Hard's John Mclane limp broken and bloody and scorched from one terrorist butt-kicking to the next, busts plausibility beyond the point where you're able to enjoy the movie? It would be worse, I think, if after every fight, he took a week off to go sit in a hospital bed attached to an IV before he kicked the next butt. Just because you're at full HP doesn't mean that you're shiny and polished and unblemished. You're still beaten up, you still almost died the day before, and you still might die today. You just don't have to exchange your usefuleness for the cleric's and wait an extra day before you move on. Personally, as a DM who's been running E6 with the death flag rules for the past half a year, I don't understand what the big deal about lethality is. There are plenty of important ways that the PCs can fail that don't involve death. [/QUOTE]
