I'm a big supportor of limiting characters returning from the dead. In my
own Campaign the only way a Character can be brought back is with the use of
the Cleric Ressurection spell. Making death a real threat to characters
helps lend a certain greatness to the risks many Regents take. IMHO, it also
gives BR a very Arthurian feel and I find that perfect for this setting. I
should point out that other campaign settings use this type of mechanic and
it helps add a certain something. This subject was greatly debated in the
past on this List, and if you want to see all sides of the argument you
should the Archives for late Feb. early March(I may be slightly off on that
time frame).

the province of life or death;
the road to survival or ruin.
It is mandatory that it be thoroughly studied."

One of the problems that I see in our group is that people don't mind too
much when their character dies, because 'theres always my *backup*
character'. Myself and the other person in the group who would GM a
Birthright setting (Bob: Yes, that's you) have discussed it, and the next
BR campaign that either of us runs (someone else is currently running a
non-BR campaign), the first character can be a regent, the next can be a
blooded scion without holdings, and the next is an unblooded 'nobody'.
