[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 7639006, member: 463"] Of games currently running: My Runelords game has had 2 perma deaths in 3 years, 87 sessions. My Primeval Thule game (no raise dead magic except revivify) has had 2 perma deaths in 7 months, 31 sessions. My Princes of the Apocalypse game has had 0 perma deaths (& 1 temp) in 7 months, 7 sessions. My Stonehell games I can recall two perma deaths in about 18 months of play, games about 1/week. My 5.5 year, 103 session 4e Loudwater campaign had a first session level 1 TPK with I think 5 perma deaths, later on around level 8 there was an all-but-one-TPK with I think 3 perma-deaths, but then level 10-29 I think no one died at all; 4e gets a lot kinder after Heroic Tier. I generally find random death rare in 4e & 5e, it tends to be more the result of a death spiral. 3e/PF was notorious for randomly killing PCs with crits. [/QUOTE]
