[QUOTE="havoclad, post: 3075864, member: 12020"] Thanks ya'll for your thoughts. One thing I didn't mention because it wasn't germane to my current situation, but in hindsight I feel is relevant is the impact of PC death on overall party wealth. Consider 4 PC's adventuring with roughly the same wealth, call it 20000gp value One PC dies, the other 3 split up his stuff. Those three characters are going to end up with upwards of 27K in wealth each (depending on how much they can use, how much they have to sell @ a 50% loss, etc). The player of the dead PC creates a new character, naturally he wants to enter with the new value of party wealth, call it 25K. Voila, the party just increased their overall wealth by 25%, and all because one PC died. Looks like a reward to me. Now, sure, there are many ways that I as a DM can deal with this. Bottom line, though, is that the whole thing feels a little off to me, and I'd rather not worry about it. Heh, it would be fun to have every PC death followed with an attack by Rust monsters though. :) [/QUOTE]
