If PC death is on the table, then when a PC dies, they’re dead. No fudging rolls, no extra chances, no rescuing them, they’re dead. To do otherwise weakens the tension posed by the threat of PC death. If you don’t want to kill off PCs, that’s fine. Just make it clear ahead of time that PC death won’t be on the table so that everyone knows what to expect out of the game. I’m actually running my current campaign with death off the table. When PCs die they are out of play until they can be healed, and when they return they have some kind of lingering flaw, but they can always come back unless the player wants to change characters. I’ve also run plenty of games where PC death is a possibility, and when it is, I don’t pull punches. When your character dies, they’re dead. Just depends on the campaign.</p></blockquote><p></p>
