While working today I got some ideas how describe the deaths of PCs belonging to the new Eberron races. I also thought about describing the act of dying differently basing on class. Post your ideas or samples here

Races:
*Changeling: "While tending to the corpse of your fallen companion you notice that he became incredibly pale and that his face seems to loose all its features, becoming increasingly smoother and less defined. Never did you know that your best friend was a Changeling!"

*Kalashtar: "While the mysterious ally against your strange foe meets his end you see that mysterious sparks of energy emit from his mout and eyes, nearby objects move on their volition and an odd sound pierced the air..."

*Shifter: "You see that the Shifter you fought suddenly convulses after being struck and that the large claws and sharp fangs shrink and resume normal lenght after a brief moment"

*Warforged: "The Cannith creation falls to the ground after the piercing blow from your spear and starts to emit smoke of different colors, leak alchemical fluids and emit sparks of energy from the holes where you struck and from cracks between the armored plates..."


Classes:
*Monk: "As the old abbot takes his last breath he takes on a serene smile, a final gift to his disciples"

*Paladin: "Falling down from the unholy beasts clutches, the holy warrior of the Silver Flame choughs up blood and grasps for a breath. His face becomes oddly peacefull, as if there was something waiting for him on the other side"

*Sorcerer: "Arcane light emits from his eyes as he starts cluthing the large wound on the side of his body..."

*Psionic classes: "You notice that small objects start moving spontaneously and that odd noices start apperaring as you strange Adarian friend takes his final breaths. His eyes shine in a discomforting way and small bolts of energy come out of his fingers"
