I don't however, want to kill their characters. I just want the players to have that feeling that it could happen. I don't want characters to die though or to get that TPK because it then causes issues for the story being told at the table. If it happens, it happens, but I won't engineer it.As for when it does happen, they get a new character at the same level as the rest of the party but with reduced starting equipment/gold value. I run milestone levelling and it's better not to have a new character come in weaker than the everyone else and the threats they are facing.</blockquote>
