Yes bad things will happen to the characters as will good things. The characters will do some brilliant things, and perform some really bonehead moves. These and other things will determine HOW they get to the end, and how they grow and change on the way there. We play heroes. What fun is it if we all get cdg'd while sleeping, or if a wave/turbulence pushes us to our watery , or splattery demise.As buzz has mentioned we seem to be playing two totally different style of games (and that is okay) using the same system. You appear (and please correct me if I am wrong) to be playing a more battle driven, statistical, war-gamey kind of thing where death happens alot and new characters are easily swapped in, have likely been pre-gened (by the player or game master) and have no real attachment.I tend to play and run more story driven arcs, and make unique characters I put alot of time into the personality of, and backstory for. I want to see them grow and change from the concept I started off with. Each of them have a motivating factor and inner conflicts I want to see them resolve.Death by BBEG, sacrifice to save someone, being dominated and sabotaging the party, Exiled for doing the rigth (or stupid) thing, jumping into a pilar of flame in occipitus, etcetera all great and noble ways to go, heck even swimming into the belly of a dire shark trying to rescue a warforged wasn't so bad. Death by random orc36520 or trap25642 doesn't seem like something that should happen to a "hero"</blockquote>
