    Because it takes longer to roll up a new one than a table really needs as an interruption.

    Purely practical imo. You don’t want things derailed that early. Later on, a death can be worked with, made part of a story. In the first three sessions? It’s just a pain in the ass

      That’s when we find out the player’s wizard character, Ehariel, has a long lost brother named Aharial with a suspiciously identical set of stats and backstory

      He also has been looking for his brother for years only to conveniently find the party minutes after his brother dies
