Why does it sound terrible? Can you elaborate?

Why do you feel they’re too severe? In what way?

Overtime the players who survive longer each life will have better base skills than those that don’t. Maybe they’ll be super successful in griefing in first year or two, but beyond that they’ll start to fall behind fast.
