The Guide says the following on Dying:
"If your character is dead at the end of a scenario, your character does not gain the scenario reward, even if the rest of the party does, but you are allowed to upgrade your new character deck (see Upgrading Your Deck). Build your new character before the party begins upgrading.
When your character dies but your party wins the scenario, the party may use the cards you gained during the scenario when they advance their characters, but they may not use any cards from your class deck."
So last night someone's character died. The Guide says that he could take an upgrade for a new character. I was wondering what the proper way of recording this upgrade would be? I ended up just putting an entry on his new chronicle sheet for the upgrade, writing in the notes that this was from his dead character, XXXXXX-1001.
I was also wondering about the second paragraph I quoted. It notes that if "your party wins the scenario" they get to use the cards the dead character gained. Does this really matter? It talks about this like it's a specific situation, but is there a reason that the characters, including the new character of the player whose character died, cannot use the cards of the dead character for upgrades even if they lost the scenario? In the base rules it says:
"The other characters may use the dead character’s cards when they rebuild their decks after the scenario; any cards they don’t keep are then banished."
It doesn't make any stipulations about it being only if the rest of the characters win the scenario.

Since you're allowed to upgrade decks even if your party loses the scenario, I think the second entry need to be amended to remove the "win" condition. I don't see why your party winning or losing the scenario should matter about using the dead players additional cards.
When your character dies, the party may use the cards you gained during the scenario when they advance their characters, but they may not use any cards from your class deck.
