Actually some veteran players will keep rushing in recklessly despite frequent PC death in earlier editions - I have a 5e D&D player who is delighted he can now finally play 'heroically', the way he always did in more lethal versions (using B/X, Labyrinth Lord, AD&D etc) without his PCs always dying the way they did before.Just as some old-edition players are trained to be highly tactical and risk averse, you also see 3e players trained to expect CR-balanced challenges who get annoyed at 'unbalanced' encounters, so I definitely think 'nurture' has an impact. But many other players stick to their preferred style despite incentives to do otherwise - so 'nature' is important too.</blockquote>
