[QUOTE="lukelightning, post: 3077606, member: 9745"] This is something DMs who forbid [i]raise dead[/i] need to think about. It's easier on the game if the player brings a character back to life rather than making a new character. If you force players to make new characters then the major source of their loot could very well be dead PCs, as every time they make a new character they bring in more stuff. I just assume that the PCs at some point have discussed what should be done in case of death. I have no problem with the player of a dead character saying "you should bring me back to life" or "take my weapons but give my shield to the temple" even post-mortem; we can all pretend that the arrangements were made beforehand. When my character dies I virtually push all my junk on the other players. "Hey, you should take may magic chain shirt. Here's a wand for you. I have these scrolls too!" [/QUOTE]
