At that point, there really didn't seem to be any particular benefit at all to keeping an eye on the Shard. And, as you said, Luna would have killed herself rather than do that, and Six wouldn't have been much happier with the prospect either.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I was curious how correct or not you were, so I went back and checked how often PCs went down below -10 at each level, as well as how many sessions were played at each. Here's what I found: Level  -  No. of times below -10  -  Sessions3 - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - 34 - - - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - 35 - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - 56 - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - 67 - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - 68 - - - - - - - - - - 7 - - - - - - - - - - 89 - - - - - - - - - - 4 - - - - - - - - - - 810- - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - 6 11- - - - - - - - - - 4 - - - - - - - - - - 4The overall average (25 times in 49) is someone dropping below -10 about once per two sessions. First 3 levels (3rd to 5th) had the least, with 3 in 11, with the next 3 (6th to 8th) having the most - 13 in 20. Last three levels are in between, with 9 in 18.  In short, it looks like you're absolutely right. You did get kicked around a lot less at 4th lvl. Of course, at that point you weren't traipsing around Xen'drik (that trip accounted for 6 of the times people hit -10) or traveling halfway across Khorvaire fighting barbarians in the Marches and rakshasas in the Wastes (that trip caused 7 of the above).Still, it's safe to say life's ... well, unsafe as you start swimming with the bigger fish.I think that's a reasonable assumption. Time to start writing that one up now.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
