-Unlike his immediate predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor was unwilling to alter the [[Web of Time]], fearing that the ramifications from the tiniest changes could be catastrophic, spreading "carnage and chaos across the universe like ripples on a pond," ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') instead opting to create "ripples" instead of "tidal waves." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') He believed it was okay to send people to their deaths if history recorded them as deceased, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') and also refused Clara's request to save [[Danny Pink]] from being hit by a car due to it being a part of her timeline, and undoing it would cause a [[paradox]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') He also told [[Mason Bennett]] that he "[couldn't] just go back and cut off tragedy at the root because you find yourself talking to someone you just saw dead on a slab, [and] then you really do see ghosts". ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') However, upon returning to [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor used an [[extraction chamber]] to save Clara from the [[Quantum Shade]], and also attempted to prevent her from returning to her death, despite it being a [[fixed point in time]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') and engineered events to prevent [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] and [[German soldier (Twice Upon a Time)|a German soldier]] from killing each other, claiming that "a couple fewer dead people on the battlefield" would not "hurt".

 <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration-->
-Much as his [[tenth incarnation]] expressed, the Twelfth Doctor associated [[regeneration]] with death, recalling [[Snowcap]] as "the place where [[First Doctor|he]] died". He viewed the process as "huge, [and] terrible", with his self-preservation preventing his memories of the experience from consuming him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Blood and Ice (comic story)|Blood and Ice]]'') He also believed that regeneration was to be used only when completely necessary, and to use it to fix a broken toe was "a waste of a life". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') Despite his beliefs, when used to extremes, the Doctor was willing to force a fellow Time Lord to regenerate if it benefited him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')

([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')
 When faced with the prospect of dying without regenerating while facing the [[Fisher King]], the Doctor, though initially appearing distraught, quickly dismissed any concern, saying that he "had a good innings", and labelling himself a mere "clerical error" of a regeneration, telling Clara that "we all have to face death eventually, be it ours or someone else's." ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') When cornered by the [[Veil (Heaven Sent)|Veil]], the Doctor admitted that he was afraid of dying, ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') but was unafraid to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
