Over on our RPG website, we have a wiki page called The Wall of the Fallen. This records the heroic deeds of those PCs who have died in the course of their adventures. It is a lasting memorial to their sacrifice. Or something similarly overblown.
As you can see, the wall currently contains two entries for "The Eberron Code": Jag and Mondo (the latter is actually about to return to life).
However, one of our players has recently decided to drop out of the game for work related reasons, and has asked that his character, Vixen, be killed off, preferably in an heroic manner. And the player won't be present at the game session in which this takes place.
So, the question is this: does Vixen get recorded on the Wall of the Fallen, by virtue of her once having been a PC, or does she not get recorded on account of being an NPC when the axe fell? Does it matter that this will be a "story" death rather than a "game mechanical" death?
Do the players care about the character? I would hope so, and suggest that the answer should then be yes, she goes on the wall.
