[QUOTE="Tukka, post: 5887765, member: 6668048"] How do you handle it if a character dies in a relatively mundane fashion? You might be able to take out one or two items depending on how you describe the death (e.g. a bashed in cranium might coincide with the destruction the character's magical helm), but most of the items would probably remain intact and functional. Also, the immediate consequence of death or petrification is anything but a huge boon for the party. They lose access to all of the actions, powers, skills, class features, etc. of the party member. I think giving the party access to the dead character's items at least until a replacement PC is introduced is reasonable. If the PCs don't give the gear to the under-equipped new PC or return the items to the dead PC's next of kin (or a quartermaster, or whoever is most entitled to them), you can just give them less loot in future encounters. I would just have the fleshy bits turned to stone. [/QUOTE]
