[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9536780, member: 6801228"] Because its affects on the story are bad, undesirable, and unhelpful. Sure, but replacing a character is far less tense than the character dealing with consequences. It isn't my argument. You are the one making the argument that death is trivial to overcome. You are also someone who is upset that we are removing death as a common option. And in your flood of questions, you have ignored mine. Why are you upset, if it is so trivial to overcome death? If people aren't actually staying dead, then why does it matter if it was Raise Dead cast by the local super bishop or if it was the ghost of their Father's Wrath demanding they cannot die until their vengeance is carried out? I have been doing me. For a long time. And every time I do me and tell people about it, I get cascaded with people telling me that I have removed all challenge. That if they were at my table, they would strip their character naked and DARE me to kill them, calling my bluff and ruining my game to prove themselves the better player! So it seems really weird that when I ask "why are you so upset" you refuse to answer, state that everyone can play their own way, and then repeatedly try to uno reverse me on your own argument that your presented. It is like being in a hit-and-run and the person hitting you pulling over to help you to your feet and diss the person who hit you. What are you even doing? [/QUOTE]
