[QUOTE="Art Waring, post: 8711118, member: 7037141"] I built a 5e Transhuman Etherpunk setting over the years where death isn't permanent, but death still has consequences. When my players die, they know they have options, and its not the end of their investment in their characters. Players spend a lot of time on character creation (particularly using A5e and my setting), and I don't want to take away from that, I would like for them to have fun at the table and to have a chance to return in the same game session so that they aren't sitting out of the game for the rest of the evening. Death or near-death can have other consequences that aren't as permanent. The player could nearly die, and lose some of their equipment. They could have had a grievous injury and require augmentation or a replacement limb. In my games, the more times you die, the higher your chances are of experiencing trauma from your characyers death. Each time you die it gets worse, with the trauma increasing. Offer long-term solutions like mental conditioning to help cope with the stress, and it gives players more things to do during downtime. [/QUOTE]
