Character Death

When a character dies, the player has the option to create a new character. If the death was a heroic death, particularly appropriate to the character’s personality and goals, the new character will be created at the start of the level that the previous character was when it died (i.e. at minimum experience points for that level). If the death wasn’t particularly heroic, the new character will start at one level less than the party average. If a character is retired for a good reason (true to the character’s personality and goals), a new character can be created at the level of the retired character; otherwise, the new character begins at one level less than the party average or at the level of the retired character, whichever is lower.
