Dead status for PCs
I'd love to see a dead status for characters - PC or NPC. I'm running a Dark Sun game with a very high PC death rate (surprise, surprise) and the party list is going to be changing a lot over time. I don't really want to move these characters to the NPC section, because they're not NPCs, but I also don't want them showing up in the party list in the sidebar, because they're not really still in the party either. However, it's relevant to the game's history to know that they were there, and especially for NPCs, any info in their character page might be important later.
Here's what I'm envisioning:
1) Add a "Dead" checkbox on each character page
2) On the character list page, sort dead PCs to the bottom of the PC list (and dead NPCs to the bottom of the NPC list) with a [dead] tag or something similar next to their name
3) If the character was a PC, remove them from the party list in the sidebar

Howdy, Stranger!

On your homepage or wiki main page have 2 tables or lists of PC's, those alive and those dead. One could say something like "Current Party" and the other "Fallen Comrades". If you don't know the coding theres a TON of helpful people here that could show you how, I even know a little.
But I agree, having a section for dead characters would be nice.
My main campaign has about 125 characters listed at the moment though, some of whom are definitely departed. It would be nice if I could keep the Characters tab down to a more manageable length.
