I'm trying to explain myself, and demonstrate the issues with SoD compared to other encounters.  If you are indeed claiming that SoD is expected to be equivalent to entering a fight that isn't level appropriate, or entering a fight already injured and in a position to lose, than I suggest that you have directly proven that something is wrong with SoD in the context of the game.   You know what? I think I'm done here.  My position, all along, has not been that I want the character to be guaranteed safety.  My position has been that I don't want my death to be instantaneous and feel like I couldn't do anything about it.  It isn't that I don't want to have to take gambles in adventuring. It is that I don't want one botched gamble to instantly result in my death. That's the entire point! To you, apparently, this is playing "in a padded game". This is "playing safe". Or being unwilling to accept responsibility for the decisions made as a player, or a character's failure to find the right clue.  Fair enough. You've got your style of play, and you're welcome to it. I've never argued with that. But I'm done trying to justify my preference to you. If you really can't understand it, or even make the attempt to do so, and you really can't help but find fault or talk down to the way other people like to play, than this discussion was pointless from the start.</blockquote>
