Feb 23, 2016 at 1:23 comment added Anaksunaman @Thanuir Yes this statement is probably too broad. =) But many players do not wish to face death without a good story behind it, which often wouldn't be provided by a cannon fodder monster. Of course, this isn't a hard and fast rule obviously and is best discussed in the group. Regarding consequences, I prefer games myself (as a player) that are more brutal but a random outdoor encounter with a goblin horde could account for "player choice" in this scenario. Fudging doesn't mean letting off players off scot-free in any case, which I see as a common misconception.

Not necessarily. I, for one, prefer to face the consequences of my choices as a player, whether they involve character death or not. Why bother playing otherwise?
