[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7567751, member: 6987520"] In our game we had 3 characters die before level 5 and it wiped out most of the loot we got to get them raised at different points. I remember one character died in the very first encounter against some orcs (our sorcerer)! Then we had a barbarian AND warlock die around 3rd level, but that battle was nearly a TPK! Wej ust finished our dragon battle/encounter last session. The druid died almost right off (I think on round 2) after the black dragon pulled him under the murky water, hit him with claws and the bite. He went unconscious and drown. No one could get to him because they were fighting the dragon. He was raised a few days later by the guardian naga we had freed from its continual watery grave at the bottom of the lagoon. So, 3 before level 5, and one at level 5. None permanent though... I am surprised there isn't a check or something to see if they come back. I think in other editions there used to be (my 2E is a bit hazy). [/QUOTE]
