[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5389119, member: 59082"] Nice chart, Marcq - and that represents a truly Dark Age setting. I am wondering, though, if there might be a slightly reverse bell curve where at higher levels the numbers go up a bit, meaning once you get to a higher level - say 15th+ - you are harder to kill and simply be virtue of the fact that you've "survived the gauntlet" you might stick around for awhile. Furthermore, depending upon magic, you might have higher level characters living longer by virtue of some kind of "life extension magic." There is also the retirement factor - the higher level a character gets, the more likely they are to retire from active adventuring, therefore the less likely they are to get killed. Retirement might even be the primary factor of this "reverse bell curve," the key being to figure out when characters start retiring and when when it is at its peak. [/QUOTE]
