There's no experience penalty and the cost to rez is cheap (and readily available).But i'm doing just fine on making this one of the hardest games my p.c's have ever played. I've managed to kill six p.c's through H1 so far (they did not tpk at irontooth). Kill as in dead-dead. And i would rate my party at a 'high' tactical level with an extremely balanced party.I'm not going to get into the 'how i think you could make things harder for your pc's' bit. There have been plenty of suggestions given.Just remember, as a dm, you are a facilitator. Don't get mad at your party for playing well. Changing rules to make it harder is punishment for above-average play. I wouldn't recommend that.On the other hand, trying to kill your pc's is kind of your job. I mean, your players might actually thank you for busting their balls. It makes playing worthwhile when something is actually on the line. It's a bend-but-don't-break life dm's live. Let the players revel in victory as they defeat your creatures but show no mercy when brutally attacking their unconscious bodies.</blockquote>
