>Terribly so. Which does admittedly give ammunition to some of the 'Necromancers aren't that bad!' crowd. Unless of course you consider moral values as being a bit different in the gameworld.
A bit, but remember that the player character population is less than 1% of the population of the provinces. We represent the extremes of good and evil, of power and frailty, and of intelligence and stupidity. We are all the freaks and outliers outrageous enough to have a letter P (for player) floating over our heads. I'm guessing the average farmhand doesn't get more than a favor or two in his lifetime, and doesn't realize when he's spent it.
Being guarded has never stopped anyone from hiring 150th assassins to come shoot me in the face.

The average person running around Elanthia doesn't get favors or second chances at all. Adventurers get to reincarnate because a god (or something of equivalent capacity) specifically intervenes.
The culture of frivolous, sometimes comedic death that the few thousand adventurers running around indulge in would shock and horrify the few million faceless, disregarded citizens of the provinces. If anyone cared what they thought.
