Okay, granted, when Gygax wrote The Keep on the Borderlands the style of play wasn't to have a Tank, a Healer, a Ranged Attacker, and a Melee Specialist in some combination of a few PCs. Instead what happened was 5 to 10 PCs, each with a henchman or two and ten to twenty hirelings, would descend on a dungeon like locusts devouring a corn field. So a spider kills a retainer. Sucks, but there are twenty-five more to take care of the problem.
