To a "normal" (whatever that means <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) D&D player those are equally big risks as losing a level or losing the character. And all this depends wether any given player favors heroism or survivalism.  Just noticed Fenes 2's post: Yeah, I'd say more players (that I know) play more from survivalist vs. heroist POV.But surely some types of characters die easier than others? My archer cleric usually doesn't get near dangers, and even if he did, would be a bitch to kill with all his protections. The groups rogue, however, has to be right in the middle of it all, flanking enemies, defusing traps and scouting. Thus he dies more easily. Should he then be punished for dying very severely, just for playing a rogue? Same goes for the poster (EDIT: Hand of Evil) who had houseruled a will saving throw for wanting to come back from dead. Punishing death may be ok, but why punish other characters more than others (for example those who have bad will saves. Thats double penalty, actually, since those types seem to die more often who have bad will saves <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />)?</blockquote>
