[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7462422, member: 6895991"] Character death is still an Option. The Thing is if you got mature Players no one will complain about it, but there is something else: How do i introduce a new character properly into a campaign ad hoc? (Since my Group has not that often time we would not want 1 Player sit around if there is no possibility for resurrection) This is depending on several things: RP issues What are you surroundings? A City - perfect, somewhere in the underdark - not so good, a different plane of existence - maybe the worst Level differences In my opinion in 5e there are not so many Problems with Level differences within a Group like in former Editions. Up to Level 4 or 5 imho you can easily let a replacement char start at 1. After that it should be 2-3 Levels below the Groups lowest Level without much Problems. Still, for many Players it is not that much fun to start out at high Level, they want to develop their character through the Levels, even if that is a fast process due to high Level Encounters of the Group giving XP fast. So a possible and likely resurrection is probably the best Option to avoid the issues above - or to make it unlikely a char dies at all aka death saves. [/QUOTE]
