I'm GMing a campaign written by myself with 6 players. The PCs are at Lvl 7 right now and we had five deaths up to this point with one of the PCs killed being revived.
They mostly die to enemy CC-Spellcasters and hardhitters. Had a single vampire in the last session f%%~ing the party up via dominate person. She gained control of the Ranger and the Sorceress. The Ranger went crazy and chopped the paladin to pieces with his greataxe, while the sorceress pewpewed the ranger to death with some tasty scorching rays.
I don't try to kill players on purpose from the beginning of an encounter, let's rather say I try and soften them up. But if anyone gets outmaneuvered somehow by the enemy, I try and set his death in stone. But honestly that rarely occurs and even if so, a lot of bad luck is intended there (fumble-, critrolls on attacks and saves and all that stuff)...
