And do fear checks also use the same table as horror checks?
Man, after this I really want a copy of the Ravenloft books so I don't have to keep asking these questions on the forae...

What's the general attitude towards character death in Ravenloft? I assume it's a "kill 'em if they deserved it" type of game because after all it's a horror setting, not just a "you see a kobold. you walk up to it. you kill it really easily and get free XP" setting. Also, I know that earlier one player threatened to leave (which wouldn't be great, I only have 3 players at the moment) because his character died. Being as I was basically using this to let them know I played kobolds smart and it was the first encounter I did the old "It's all a dream" trick, and gave him back his character, but... (Maybe I shouldn't be such a big fan of CdGs?) Any advice to not getting him TOO cranky about PC death without spoiling the Ravenloft mood?
