Can characters die at all?So far the players have been purely against such practice. One says that characters can only die from a consistent bad luck and you must have the chance to escape from the situation before you "accumulate" enough bad rolls. One says that the death must always be meaningful or result from player's own stupidity. The latter opinion has garnered support from other players.I must say that I'm gutted by their views but since this is a consensus I must accept it or leave.Instant death depends on the game but if we think about fantasy for instance, I like that there are some powerful spells that can possibly kill you outright. In modern and sci-fi games we have weapons and grenades etc. I certainly want a bullet to the neck to kill my character and I want such shots to be possible. Live fast, die fast I say. And besides I like making new characters.How do you feel about it? After a failed save vs. death do you rip your character sheet and tell your GM to stuff it or just create a new PC?</blockquote>
