Legend
That is not what I mean at all. PCs can become literal gods. I'm not talking about level 20 pcs with a few epic boons. I'm talking about PCs who transcended mortality and have gained godhood. If you want to play at that level (and some do) then you need god stats.Well, yes, they're mortal. I don't give PCs you-can't-die plot protection.
In 4e and 5e where there's no lingering penalty for death-and-revival no matter how many times you repeat that cycle, you have a point. It's a serious bug in those editions' designs, though, and greatly cheapens death as a loss condition over those editions where a death-revival cycle carried a long-term penalty (loss of a Con point in 0-1-2e).
