I got burned by the rules too. Still don't want to make it easier to cheat death by retiring though, and we should reward continuity where possible. but, as someone whose retired three characters, it shouldn't be onerous.Iron Sky, that's how I read it too, initially. But then I didn't have the guts to be that direct.
And there's a death penalty?
@Mewness , if I understand you correctly, your argument is "it sucked for me, so it wouldn't be fair if it didn't suck for everyone else?" I might be way off base on how I read that, but that seems like the best reason to change a rule rather than keep it.
And YES by the way.
