I'm not certain how many sessions the story hours posted represent but in the last few there have actually been quite a few character deaths that strike me as non-preplanned.Ortwin has died twice, Tarl the Incorruptible died, and now Shomei has also died. I suspect that adds up to something like an average of one death per five sessions--not a meatgrinder but still quite deadly. And you would also do well to note that, strictly speaking, the price of Raise Dead/etc spells is irrelevant in that campaign since it's considered blasphemous--all recoveries so far have been with Reincarnate or variants thereof. And, I think it will be very interesting to see what happens in the next few updates of Sep's story hour. Now that Ortwin has lost all his gear and Shomei has lost a lot of hers, I suspect we'll begin to see how hampered characters of those levels are by the lack of gear.Now, I suspect that more "standard" campaigns might experience even more significant hampering effects once the gear-deprivation begins to add up.</blockquote>
