Well, truth to tell, this isn't that uncommon with any combat-intensive BRP game; back when we started with RQI, we were playing twice a week and I think by the end of the first year I had at least 80 sheets from dead characters. Experienced characters tended to last longer (and be more likely to be retrieved with divine intervention) but it wasn't like, as I noted before, one critical from a composite bow arrow wasn't plenty to kill someone if it hit a non-limb area.
