That sounds like a better idea than allowing for what essentially amounts to a risk-free style. Some bonus for risking mortality, both in the long-term and short-term, would allow for some incentive to choose mortality, while allowing those who don't like the idea to stay away. Hm, but that's what a hero is... And right now, you can't play a mortal cavalier unless you get banned somewhere first (In which case you sure as heck ain't a cavalier) or duel to the death (Well, at least you died as a true cavalier...I guess).
