The reason I'm bringing this up is that a character willingly sacrificed himself to help defeat a bad guy in such a way as that it was made obvious that this was a player motivated suicide and not a character motivated one. We all knew that he wanted to play another character and so none of us were shocked at his sudden altruism. Having said that, I feel like an earnest desire to stay alive adds a level of realism to the game that otherwise lacks with infinite rez. Real consequences are ultimately where real value is derived from.That said, I can see the other side of the argument. Nothing is worse than coming home a loser in D&D. After all there are many other areas in life where it sucks to be a loser, but D&D just shouldn't have to be one of them. In and of itself, I think the risk of failure provides plenty of incentive to stay alive.</blockquote>
