What do you do with character sheets for slain characters?

[Darth K'Trava]

as a referee: whatever the player wants to do with them. i have some that the players gave me from days of yore. but most just got balled up and tossed in the fire/trash while the player rolled up a new one.

Our DMs don't care what we do with them.

as a player: i file them away after giving a list of items to the group to pick over my bones.

I've had to divvy up the stuff my ranger had and then one guy who rolled the saves for all his stuff pooched the rolls (ranger died by alot of acid) and lost half his stuff.

I still have very old character sheets--the oldest was created in 1979. He was a Paladin named Van Halen (yeah, I know...cheesy, but those were the days).

Was his first name "Eddie"?

Heh. I remember playing the old Curse of the Azure bonds on my friend's computer (if I remember correctly, it was a Commadore 64). To name our characters, we'd randomly mash our hands against the keyboard. The only reasonably pronouncable name was "TYRC." Every time we played a D&D computer game after that, we would name our main fighter Tyrc.

Character dies;
1. Character is offered undeath by evil spirits in the vicinity.
2. I ask the PC as DM secretly IF the character would accept being raised from death. This is NOT revealed to the party.
3. If neither happen, i vault the sheet in a ever fattening folder.

I keep all of my characters on spreadsheets nowdays. I'd get really upset if the DM tried to burn or rip up the character sheets....

I keep handy a rubber stamp that says 'DECEASED', courtesy of a stint in a government office.

Now that would rock.

We either erase or throw out, depending on the condition of the sheet.

Generally just throw them away but keep some notes on said character so that if needed latter on, some campaign notes can be introduced from previous games.

 

[Chaldfont]

We stick them to the wall of the basement where we play.

After we strip their equipment. We've gotten most of our treasure from fallen comrades in this Eberron campaign.
