Also, of course, you can just limit the number of Terms served and take note that some careers (military) are more dangerous than others. I did have a problem with some players doing the interminable character generation through multiple terms in some of my games, but they can actually come unstuck in the following game-play. For example, I advised players to opt for hardy characters in the build up to a Pirates campaign, but one player ignored that and chose to create an ageing player (in their 70s) before they stopped generating. The character was highly knowledgeable (a Doctor of Medicine) but ageing rolls had reduced all his physical stats to very low scores. If the very first combat of the first session he was killed. The player was a bit resentful, but he was warned.</blockquote>
