[QUOTE="TheFindus, post: 6757688, member: 75791"] When I DM, I let players change their PCs without a penalty. They have to give a believable reason why the PC would leave with everybody else who is playing. The new character has to be introduced believably. If this cannot be achieved because the PC is crucial to something that the PCs want to achieve at the moment, then the change will probably have to wait. It has also happened that the PC switched classes (not race) simply by refluffing the PC to the mechanics of the new class (we turned a Paladin into a Druid that way in our 13th Age campaign - yes, I know that sounds weird, but it works for us). Regarding magic items: since magic items at our table are based on the specific needs of a certain class, they usually are not relevant or of help to a different PC. That said, if it is decided that the old PC dies, the items stay available to the group (unless the PC falls into a bottomless pit or something). [/QUOTE]
