Expy might be in the young adult age bracket as far as his dragon breath and spell casting abilities, but he sure acts juvenile. He likes to hoard stuff and burn things.

I make it where 1. the PCs get ressurected at the end of a dungeon (when the other players get the reward) and 2. the ressurected players only get rewards from encounters they entered alive (and the final, quest-end reward if they entered the final battle alive).

Ressurrection should be like in MMOs though, not reliant on PCs and NPCs, there should be a designated soul bind spot or shrine. These are good ideas.

actully in my campain my players have to get the heart of a silver dragon to reserect charactor. the heart can only be used once. i let the player who dies use a charactoer the others meet shortly after the player dies untill his charactor comes(if he ever does that is).
