What is 3.0 & 3.5 missing that previous editions had?

That's a clever, and timesaving way of doing things Pirate...

They're great. Wouldn't want to run my game without them.

I think that some of the GMs out there in the world are missing permanent character death that 12ed had with the System Shock/Ressurection survival rules and the ever decreasing con. Not to mention that Elves couldn't be raised. I found that in most 1ed/2ed campaigns, the characters really feared death as a result of these rules. Maybe some of the GMs that are out there complaining about something missing and players not fearing death should bring back these rules.

Then change it? As a DM that is your call. In my games people rarely come back to life. At lower level the God's do not take the time to locate and return the soul. At higher levels the God's may not be willing to part with their servant, or waste the time going and haggleing over the soul of someone elses servant.

My players fear death.

What is it called? Rule 0?
