[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 6449020, member: 184"] I don't track XP, I just level the party when it feels right. So no one is of dissimilar level than anyone else. Less fiddly that way. So if a PC dies, he'll be coming back the same level as everyone else. But we've only had one PC die so far, and it was back at 1st level from an unlucky crit. The players are playing smart because they don't want to die. Their PCs are tied into the story of the campaign, so they aren't throw-away bags of hp that can be replaced by Bob the Fighter IV. They have a vested interest to stay alive, and play like it. Not to say I'm an easy going DM. We had 37 PC deaths playing through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil a few years ago. Back then, I did track XP, and I did make the PCs lose a level if they died (but no lower than lowest level in the party). That made for quite the regression loop; I learned something that campaign.
