One of my 4 SC Campaigns recently experienced their first death (to Skaven's Phantasmal Killer spell). As this game happens to be played online, we discussed a number of options. The one that seems to be in the lead for the player at the moment is to use the rules of the Ghostwalk setting to bring the character back pretty much immediately.
I came up with the idea that the Ghostwalking is a minor feature of the Soul Pillars that are nearby. The problem I have is trying to determine why the PCs are unique in showing this particular tendency towards ghost-hood. While I have a few ideas, nothing seems to be solidifying. Can anyone come up with anything for this?
Also, can anyone think of any potential balance problems that should be headed off at the pass?
