I do this by random determination, all players present roll a d10, who ever has the highest result plays the character. If there's more than 1 player missing, who ever had the 2nd highest result also gets a character until there are no more character's who have a missing player. I hand out the character sheets at random for 2 or more missing players. If more than half the group is missing, I run a one-off game for just the characters who have a player present. The one-off games don't have any official impact on the campaign, though I may allow a character to keep a minor treasure (potion of healing, scroll of magic-missile, etc.) from the one off game on occassion as reward for exceptional play. I don't allow my players to use a missing players character as intentional guinea pig's, placing them into situations that are obviously harmful that will likely result in maiming or death.</blockquote>
