Death suggestion:
When you die, you lose random items (people looting your corpse). Better: you lose all your money and gems. (You shouldn't carry your money arround, anyway <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />).
TO make it fun, there might be a diety who asks you riddles to see if you're "worthy" to return on earth. Fun and easy... And at the end of the game, it would show how many times the player died.
Just a suggestion.
