'''Death''' comes to us all, especially in [[Diablo III]]. The D3 Team wants to make the game more challenging and involving than Diablo II, and they've incorporated numerous design ideas to create this.

While you may die in Diablo III, the penalties are not steep. Dead players respawn at the last [[checkpoint]] they reached, with all of their equipment still on; there is no corpse to retrieve in Diablo III, as there was in Diablo II. The only penalty (for non-[[hardcore]] characters) is a loss of [[durability]] to the equipment, which may result in expensive repairs.
