Hmmm...I've been wondering about this myself.  I've been toying with the idea 
of having players use a "character tree" not unlike in AD&D's Dark Sun, where 
the players have more than one character, but play only one at a time.  As 
one character progresses, so do the others, albeit at a slower rate.  I dunno 
if I like this idea though.  
I've also considered allowing the player whose character has just died to use 
any unused bounty points on the new character.  Regarding new players, 
bringing in new characters, I think they would have to make due. or maybe 
give them a nominal amount of extra points, maybe 1-6 or something.  It's a 
cold world.
