[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 2137881, member: 30610"] Hmm . . . I have 12 characters in my campaign, and I find that the overall effect is that fatalities are more common, or easier to come by. There is therefore more danger of there being a death rather than less. (I do not know if the odds of death for an individual character are higher or lower.) Extrapolating, I would estimate that a group of size 16 or so would either require the DM to baby them for a while via careful picking of encounters, or would regularly lose the bulk of its members, at least until the survivors got a couple of levels. This assumes that the DM tends towards single monsters that take up the CR, or at most a pair of monsters. A small army of level 1s can still probably mow through a small force of goblins without too much trouble (with the fatalities coming when all the goblins target a single player with their spear/javelin fire.)
