[QUOTE="J-H, post: 8054897, member: 7020951"] There's no difference between that and "New player shows up with just the base starting gear, and loots the dead guy's body." The party works well together, so equipment went to where it was most useful. What I was not going to do was introduce new "free" magic items that had not been collected by the party during the campaign. One dead PC body was not retrieved by the party in a timely fashion (they had to run away). They found some of his gear soon after in the treasury. His two most iconic items (Ring of Protection +1 and Wand of Lightning Bolts) were still on the corpse when they fought the Avatar of Death later on... said corpse was a minion during the fight, casting his most commonly-used spells and using the wand. This is all of course if Raise Dead doesn't happen. The cleric was gone the week one of the two PC deaths happened. The other one got killed by Finger of Death, and the party didn't use Revivify during that one-round "pre-zombie" window. [/QUOTE]
