When the players do something stupid they justify some nasty results by telling themselves the players knew what the consequences would be, but went ahead.  On the other hand sometimes people just don't pay attention and assume the DM won't let anything bad happen to their characters.  What I'm saying is that the circumstances matter.  I can understand the idea of this seeming a fate worse than death.  Having your PC seriously nerfed and still playing it seems like recurring punishment.  If it gets to the point of not enjoying it, why bother?  I would talk to your GM about it.  Maybe they'll come up with a way to restore some of what you lost so your character doesn't suck.  If not, maybe they will be willing to let you make a new PC.  I personally like this option less because it sets a precedent for the next time something happens to someone's character that they don't like very much.</blockquote>
