[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 702377, member: 9990"] That's why there is ressurection, although it is a tough path and I make the characters jump through a bunch of hoops to get the character back. I hate it when players like the way their character was developing and then lose her to a retarded rule but it happens sometimes and you can't ignore it, so I let the player a 'temporary' character to role-play until the PCs get the original character back. It got one player into a conflict about which character he wanted to keep: the dead cleric or the new monk that wouldn't take any penalties due to death. Eventually he took the cleric back because he liked the characters ties that he had made with the townspeople (he opened his own church there). I roll in the open, which some DMs don't do in order to prevent a TPK, but if the party is in over their head they should learn to run. My strongest hint is making the players make a will check due to fear of the overwealming confrontation they face. [/QUOTE]
