It is much more important to address the isuue of needing to switch characters. Is this a new trend or just a mistake the player made. I know I have changed out characters and then realized it was indeed a mistake. That I missed my orginal character. Changing out characters several times is an issue but people due change thier mind and/or make bad decisions. I would worry much more about why this is happenening then what to do.As far as actualy applying your house rules leave it up to the players. If your concern is what is fair and whatis unfair that (in this situation) is really a matter of opinion, an opinion set by your players and yourself. What do they think?I know in my group we are pretty lenient about that sort of thing. We have one player who misses a lot of sessions (compared to the restof the group) and had fallen behind in levels but we decided it didn't matter to us if he got full Xp so that he was not a liability and so he would not feel less useful in the group. In the end he was being "Punished" enough by not getting to play, which is what we really enjoyed. I don't think fairness is an issue anyone but the GM and players can decide. The only other issue is setting a rule to discourage players from switching willy-nilly their characters. If that is not a problem and not a forseeable problem then don't make it an issue.Our group policy is when you character dies you come back at the experience you left at including the fight you died in. Dieing is bad enough. Also our group (as players) has set a no ressurecting / raise dead agreement. Just a pact that we won't bring our characters back from the dead even if the ability to do so exist. So the game is much more risky and real in a sense. Some players plan to bring back their character and retire them becuase it is in character to do so but they won't come back into the campaign as a PC. Later</blockquote>
