Campaign Difficulty Hardcore

Campaign Difficulty

In a hardcore campaign, if a player character dies, the player is removed from the campaign unless their character is resurrected.
A new player may join the campaign to replace the removed player at the Game Master's discretion. Typically the new player joins at the average party level for game balance.
Items may be recovered from the deceased player character’s body.
If there is a Total Party Kill, the campaign ends, and the GM can choose to start a new campaign.
