1. I find it creates serious imbalance otherwise.
2. As already stated, so everyone remains participating. Our gaming groups are all about fun above all (no matter what the game). Someone sitting there not participating is against the basic premise.

Zombie Heroes: "almost" always. Similar to the TP rule, the transformation occurs unless the hero has been blown into micropieces by an explosive. It make sense, that if you can't bag it, the corpse can't change... Zombie02

I agree with you in both cases. I've said this before, but I personally kind of feel like NOT having hero replenish can sometimes cause an inbalance in the game. Case in point, if you have four hero players, they each have one hero, meaning when their hero dies, it is their "last hero" so they always get a new hero. However, if you have one hero player, they have to have FOUR of their heroes die before they can ever get a new one, and in almost every single scenario, that would end the game in a Zombie win anyway (in fact, some only take 3 or 2 hero deaths).

So, playing with one hero player, the HP could possibly wind up playing the game with only one hero at some point.

I also agree with you that a Zombie Hero should not result via an explosion death. After all, thematically, you would assume there isn't enough left of their body to become a zombie at all.

You could kind of argue similarly, then, that maybe deaths resulting from fire should not result in a Zombie Hero. However, I can kind of let that slide a little. You can sort of imagine this thematically one of two ways... 1) The hero burns up and dies and then somehow the fire gets put out while there is still enough left of them to become a very nasty, charred up zombie. OR 2) The hero burns up and dies, then, while still on fire, but not yet completely burned away, the hero awakens as a Zombie Hero, still on fire, and yet just as (if not a little more) dangerous than your typical zombie. Pretty cool. LOL!
