[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 2331478, member: 960"] Hmmmm, in previous campaigns (pre 3e and dead 3e campaigns): First campaign ever (1979-1980): Almost 100% (near TPK in G1, but the invisible thief took body parts back and I let them all get res'd). So that one's really about 87.5%. First 3e campaign: 3 players dropped, of the final group of five players, only 1 died and was brought back. So, 20%. Then 4 PCs died and the one left alive turned evil so she wouldn't get us raised, or it would be 80%. 2nd 3e campaign: 4 players, 2 died first night and were raised. So 50%, but that group never played again. Current campaigns: The Eberron game I play in does not have such magic available (yet), but no one has died yet. So, 0%. For now.... The home game I run is standard, but the PCs are only 6th level. One person died and they used a scroll of Raise Dead they found (which I added since the player is a 10 year old kid and he was not there the day his PC died very heroically--I don't want to spend another hour making a 6th level PC with a 10-year-old ;) ) So, 20%. That leaves Living Greyhawk. My main PC has died five times. My other four PCs in that campaign are low level and have yet to experience death. Sure, it averages out to one per PC, but since it's only one PC (out of 5) that has actually died and been raised/reincarnated, I'd say 20%. Wow--that's a lot of "20%" answers (3 out of 6 campaigns). I'll put 20% for my answer in the pool. :) [/QUOTE]
