Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 5684285" data-attributes="member: 6669384">We've just had a fairly serious PC turnover in our game, and it brought a certain mind set to light.We lost our Barbarian/Wizard who could craft arms and armor.  The character died and can't be brought back.  (Long story).Our other melee type died from being a melee type.Our major healer almost died, and the character has decided to retire from the field.  The player wants to run a Paladin combo.Our house rule is that the gear of a fallen PC is buried with him or left to family.  In other words, it's taken out of the game.The Barb/Wiz' player, however has said that he wants his character's Healing Belt (MIC item) to be given to the melee-type's replacement, since the character who can make these is leaving.He apparently thinks that this item is/should be standard equipment, and that one way or another the new PCs should all have one.Do you have that problem in your games, that players/PCs seem to think they should be able to have anything in budget, whenever they have the money?(Note:  There's absolutely no reason the character can't buy such an item as part of their starting package, since they're starting at 8th level or so.  I'm just commenting on the mind set, not the specific situation).</blockquote>
