[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8715420, member: 22779"] Right. So really,taking death off the table isn’t much of a stretch. It’s not going to radically change the game. Realistically, how often would it actually come up? If death is on the table, how many permanent deaths do you typically have in a campaign? Two? Three? Probably not more than that. And, IME, less, particularly in 5e where it’s not easy to kill a pc. As a dm you pretty much have to start ganking downed pcs to do it. Although there are exceptions. :). The dice gods absolutely demanded a sacrifice in my last game where a beholder paralyzed a pc then hit him with two death rays. The pc had to fail (twice because of inspiration) saves vs the paralysis then I had a 1 in 100 chance of rolling those two death rays. And the I had to roll enough damage to kill a 9th level cleric with a decent Con. Yikes! [/QUOTE]
