[QUOTE="payn, post: 8268486, member: 90374"] Depends on the type of player. Some folks consider adventuring dangerous business and want the game to reflect that. Others, assume a much more narrative approach where death is something negotiated as part of the story if it happens. Im among the former. I like 3E/PF1, which is admittedly swingy. Certain situations can take a character out without them being able to act at all, which can be unsatisfying. I like to temper this with a hero point system resource the players can manage. If they save their points they can stave off a random death, but if they dont, the dice fall where they may. If a death occurs because a player forgot a mechanic, I'm willing to retcon to a certain point. Really depends on the context of the situation. Part of the game is about preparing and facing danger. If something comes up the players didn't think of, they will remember it next time. [/QUOTE]
