[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6452257, member: 29398"] A few thoughts: 1. Death in 5e seems trivially easy to undo compared to all previous editions: lower $ cost, automatically succeeds, no lasting effects (4 days does not qualify as "lasting"); thus getting characters revived should be simple by RAW. 2. Unless you've got more than 5 or 6 players, I cannot recommend highly enough allowing players to run more than one character at a time. That way, when one dies the player still has something to do. 3. For new characters I set a "floor" level that they'll come in at, based on the level of that party and of the game overall. Right now it's 5th, with existign characters as high as 9th. 4. Level variance within the party should be an expected outcome in the long run, if you allow items that can randomly give or remove levels and-or xp (Deck of Many Things, anyone?) and-or if you have level-draining monsters or spells in the game.
