"one more room" is very bad for one's health; one's judgement past 1am isn't real good; etc etc <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Still, with -10 being the point of actual "death", most characters can be stabilised by the bad guys and saved for a meal or something. In my above mentioned case, Kerowyn Hucrele (NPC who sent the first party out to the Citadel) is persistent and got together another party to send out on the same mission. The one previous PC who had been really, really killed was now a zombie and the others had been rescued so they could also be made servants of Gulthias. I had to change the module a little bit so that they could be saved by the destruction of said entity, but I think that's been the intent of other people's suggestions about "changing the story" to suit. Some people went with their original characters: some stuck with the rescuing ones, because they came to like them better.</blockquote>
