So the question is: will it be fun for the players?  That's going to depend a lot on the group, but I have killed off high level (around 15th) level characters before when the paladin went down in a blaze of glory taking out a vampire lord.So not common but depends on the group, not really all that hard if you try.  I'd rather have the group half unconscious with a last few desperate PCs struggling for survival now and then but still managing to carry the day.Oh, and for what it's worth resurrection is pretty much unheard of in my campaign and even raise dead is highly unusual and not just a simple matter of casting a spell because I base my mythos on norse mythology where even gods can die.</blockquote>
