I noticed the same sudden-death thing happening, but I didn't use it. I
think FASA put that in there to make it variable for the really powerful
characters, as well as the type of game she wants to run. It even gives
a lethality adjuster (handling player death, pg 12). That's part of the
reason I liked it. It works for beginning players as a way to set the
tone of a campaign, or for experienced players who are looking for a
final run to tie up a four year campaign (when I moved). I guess what
I'm saying is that it had depth that's unusual for an RPG pre-made
adventure. Anyone else notice this? Or am I just biased by name?
