[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5327829, member: 9789"] The maximum number of encounters you can have without achieving 3 milestones is infinite. You have to have two encounters in a row to achieve a milestone; if you did one encounter and rested every time, you'd never make it. This isn't likely in tabletop but a more realistic chance in PbP. That said, I doubt it would take forever, but it could certainly take much more than 6 encounters. I'll be honest: my opinion is that death penalties are stupid. Your character died: they have to wait around for a few real-life weeks or months to get rez'd and you can't play them. [I]That[/I] is a penalty. Anything on top of that, in my opinion, is pointlessly punitive. Personally, I would advocate that the death penalty is: nothing. When you get raised, you're back and that's it. I guessed that might be a tad controversial, however, :) so I tempered it to "3 encounters". Remember: 3 encounters can be 9 months on these boards. At BEST it's probably 3 months. That may not be much time in-game but in real life, that's forever. Again: this is my opinion; YMMV. [/QUOTE]
