They could die, they could lose levels, they could be put through the wringer and handed back to you as rabbits, they could be corrupted, dominated, mind-controlled, aged (up or down), imprisoned, and any number of other "not fun" outcomes. The source of these bad things is usually the setting (via traps, curses, etc.) or the opposition (via spell, inherent ability, or weapon); but sometimes it could be your own party or even yourself.This is the flip side of all the good things that much more often happen to PCs - they gain fame and wealth, they gain levels, they gain powers, social standing, knowledge, experience, and so forth*.* - and, ultimately, the ability to inflict all those bad things on to others if they so choose. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
