Well as far as plot goes he had none in this particular/up coming
campaign. As far as the luck idea, I did allow that with the hand of God
option, but he had used it already. As far as his reaction to the dead I
really wouldn't even conceder that, if a player dies then he dies he is
mature to accept that (unlike some of my players)
Thanks for the feedback
