Just the same as Batman fears for his life when he gets shot at, even though he has never been fatally shot in any of the previous 400 episodes. Just as Frodo is anxious as to whether or not he'll survive the trip through Mordor even though every other adversity he's confronted he's narrowly escaped. You, the player, know that your PC is the hero. Your PC does not.If you don't like that sort of author stance, you need simulatonist play of the 3E variety. But in such play, either (i) hordes of foes will kill you, or (ii) hordes of foes will never threaten you. You'll never get the play experience that 4e minions deliver. Whether or not that's a good thing I leave to you to judge for yourself.</blockquote>
