Although the mechanics are specific to 3E, the concepts can be applied to other systems: Characters may advance (XP-wise) in this ghost class, but not their mortal one; the longer a character stays as a ghost, the harder for them to "go back"; if/when resurrected, they may transfer some of their XP. | |

I also have a small portfolio of NPCs for any awkward moment where a character is needed. As long as the player sits down with you and tells you what they're making a few days before the next session, a quick crank of the plot device puts the new character there. | |
