It's not taboo, just not something people ask about all that often.  It's not that hard to kill a PC. Focus fire works well, the damage output will typically exceed any healing. When you take the target to zero,  they are unconscious and every hit after that is a critical. A critical causes 2 death save failures. So someone goes down? Double tap and someone is dead after 2 hits. A lot of monsters have multiple attacks and can do it themselves. At higher levels you may want to target the pesky cleric first and/or carry the body off so the target can't be revivified. Of course spells like disintegrate which turns targets to dust works well and there are always monsters that swallow or immediately kill when a target drops to zero. A couple sessions back I almost killed a couple of 19th level PCs because they had been paralyzed and swallowed, they only survived because they got lucky.The DM always has infinite dragons, we just choose not to use them.  Usually.</blockquote>
