Message: <blockquote data-quote="Numion" data-source="post: 1375289" data-attributes="member: 124">That's kinda the point. A set of good stuff is buried so that the new PC can come in to play with a set good stuff tailored to his class and choices, without bringing in more equipment than a group of that level should have. It's a choice to keep things balanced. Of course if the corpse happened to carry something important to the quest / campaign, that is transferrable. Of course the Paladin wouldn't say anything like that. In-game the Paladin would see that the body is buried with it's belongings, or that they are sent to the dead PCs relatives, or something like that. In meta-game, the stuff is never seen again in any case. With our way the new guy comes into play with equipment normal to his class & level. The party is free to give him "hand-me-downs", but the new PC wouldn't really need them.Hobviously my way seems completely wrong to you, but all kinds of rules can work given my first rule: don't play with wankers (courtesy of .. um, was it hong?). My players don't try to undermine this so-called testament rule, because they're quite happy to bring in new PCs with approppriate equipment. (Instead of getting hand-me-downs from the other PCs, which consist of the dead wizards stuff even if the new PC is a rogue). And really, none of my players like it when someone adds insult to injury when they 10 secs after beloved PCs death start calling dibs on the equipment.</blockquote>
