[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3245436, member: 9037"] I will kill the PCs if they do something stupid or if they are in combat and the bad guys get more hits than they do. I will fudge if I think they are losing because I am more lucky with the dice that day. But that rarely happens. I let them bring a new character in one level lower with the wealth of that level but they can't spend more than 50% on a magic item the rest are rolled randomly. I have a problem with looting of the body. First of all it brings in to much wealth into the game if I also allow the new PC to come in with the right amount of wealth. I usually allow PCs to have a family heirloom weapon that goes up in power as they do. So this weapon will be sent back to the PCs family along with the sale of magic items to help them with the loss. If someone is unhappy with their character for any reason I allow them to bring a new one in or make changes to the character they are playing. If they bring a new one in I allow it to come in as the same level as the one they are playing. I don't understand the idea of penalizing a player just because they are not happy with their current PC. Its a game and the entire point of the game is to have fun. [/QUOTE]
