[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6856656, member: 6701872"] Thus far I have seen about 30 PCs in various campaigns I've run in 5th edition, and zero of them have died. Only 3 characters have even been in "dying" territory as of yet, and they pulled through fine. The cause of this great non-lethal streak is part that I don't roll damage except dice added on a crit so there aren't any sudden unexpected spike damage deaths, and part that the enemies going for the kill weren't the ones that got any PCs down to 0 hp so there haven't been forced failed death saves. I plan on tuning up the lethality a bit by implementing some massive damage and lingering injury rules once my group gets a campaign in the Scarred Lands setting up and running. I also expect I'll see more (temporarily) dead PCs in upcoming sessions where the PCs are 13-level and higher so there are more death effects in play. [/QUOTE]
