What does this setting do?
Applies to everything but death by another player: falls, hunger, illness, puppets, animals. The default of 0.1 means ten percent of accumulated fame.
Because the loss is proportional, it hits experienced players harder in absolute terms than newcomers — the more you have, the more you lose. That is deliberate and acts as a built-in brake on carelessness among those who ought to know better.

What to watch out for
Can cost respawn options
If fame drops below a threshold, certain respawn points become unavailable. A heavy loss can send players into a downward spiral.
