The instant you bring in fate points by any name, you're not purely from the character's point of view; there's extra-character choices to be made. Many gamers will create backstory on the fly, or take mechanical elements (like the feat Draconic Heritage) suddenly making it true that the character has had draconic ancestry all along.And if it is played from the character's point of view, well, it's clear that 007 doesn't worry about him dying; he's worried about bad things happening to the British Empire and to the world. There are higher stakes then just 007's life in play. If you're really getting into character, and playing someone with goals beyond himself, surely there should be worse things a DM can do to you then kill your character.</blockquote>
