It Is an Inevitable Fact of Life

=== Death—It Is an Inevitable Fact of Life. ===
Death in Midian often comes hard and fast. No player wants his or her character to die—at least, not without some meaning. It may be acceptable to nobly sacrifice yourself in order to save your village. It may be acceptable to die in the pursuit of a grand goal. It is always difficult to accept however, when you lose your life to a minor opponent's lucky strike, an accidental fall, or a poor choice of restaurants. No one wants to go out that way.
Many Game Masters may fudge the dice rolls to keep a character alive. This is reasonable, for a better story, but cannot be always relied upon. While a Game Master may not have a policy of always "letting the dice fall where they may," don't expect to be saved from your own voluntary stupidity. If even after a successful Common Sense check you still feel the need to endanger yourself, then you will have no one else to blame but yourself. Don't cry "foul, unfair, cheater." Death is merely a part of life.
