Regarding Dead PC loot

[Flames of Chaos]

Hello
I'm re-creating a PFS character I really enjoyed the hell out of playing only to die hopelessly in a 3-7 mission ... *sigh*.

Was looking at the notepad file containing her stats and realized I have a lot of nice stuff on her sheet, and was wondering what happened to it after she died? Didn't have enough for a recovery team as I had to help the party recover from a TPK the last two scenarios in a row and was down to 2 Prestige.

Thanks!

Oh, and before I forget, she didn't have enough to Raise without selling stuff, and didn't know you could do that until about 24 hours ago and she died late last year. *sniffs*.

The Pathfinder Society has all that fancy real estate in Absalom because they sell all the gear of dead PCs and invest the profits in high-interest bonds.

I assume everything your character owned before death goes to their closest relatives, if any. You signed up for adventure, you'll probably know there's a chance of dying and have your will in order.

Also, maybe you can contact your GM from the last session and explain the situation. Maybe they'll reverse the death if you explain you didn't know selling gear was an option.

If you have any gear/money in storage at the Lodge, it is probably confiscated by the Society and used to outfit newer agents in support of the cooperation tenet. Also they can sell it to support the immense cost of running the training program.

If your companions are still alive, they would bring your body back along with all possessions. In the case of a TPK and you cannot afford a body recovery, your gear is likely claimed by the enemy becoming part of their horde or simply lost. Perhaps some lucky future adventurer will find your corpse and get an unusually high treasure pack from the GM :-D

Ah, nuts. Thought those might be the case, but never hurts to verify. *shrug* *sigh*

I wrote up a document for my characters that authorizes party members to utilize my character's items in the best way for the party if the character goes down. And yes, I've had a character die and then had the loose partially charged wands, potions, scrolls, and other consumables I was carrying keep the party going so the mission succeeded.
