Because the act of killing one's friend and comrade might seem a trifle difficult, even if one figures he'll return tomorrow? Because one doesn't know if the friend affected by a strange mutation one has never encountered will still be affected when he is reborn tomorrow? Because you don't know what will happen with the lowering Wisdom?As a DM, you have all the answers and can see behind the curtain. The players can't. So it's a good rule of thumb that what seems obvious to you doesn't necessarily do so to them. Last time we ever saw a chaos beast show up in my game was when the PC alienist summoned one and it turned a couple of enemies to jello. Good times! Not so good for my NPCs, but those are the breaks.Sounds way less exciting and memorable than what you've got going on right now then <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />My suggestion - Despite the situation with the chaos beasts, I'd have the two "dead" PCs regenerate as usual the next day, but permanently changed in some manner by their experiences (tentacles come to mind). And the change stays with them in the future, even if they die and regenerate again. Sometimes when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss touches you in a naughty way!</blockquote>
