Decide what a player keeps and what lies on the corpse after death

Losing everything on death feels brutal, losing nothing makes dying meaningless. A middle path lets the player save a few stacks, but choosing which ones is harder than it sounds, and the wrong rule lets people hide their treasure behind a pile of junk.

Why this works

A loss only hurts in a useful way when the player can see the rule and judge it fair. Ranking by what a pile is truly worth, and deciding it by rule, leaves no gap to cheat in and no choice to dodge by quitting.

When not to use it

Skip it in a relaxed or story-driven game where dying should cost nothing, or in a hardcore game where losing everything is the point. There, keep everything or drop everything, and say so clearly.
