I have been in a lot of games where the players assumed that there was more danger then there actually was - and their characters behaved accordingly.I learned long ago that the DM can kill the players off any time he wants to. so, as a DM  you don't have to run every encounter as a death encounter. characters die and it's part of the game but when they die because of their actions as opposed to you "killing" them then I have found that they tend to react better to it. As a player I know that I do.</blockquote>
