As the outcome of various maneuvers and attacks will be determined by the roll of the dice, does that mean our characters could potentially be killed off? I do hope not...

I'd assume we'd have to play our characters spectacularly stupidly to get killed off so early, even if death is a possibility. Either that or just get really, REALLY unlucky rolls.
