on-death items (passive / active)

[toafloast]

items which are activated when you are killed
death obviously isn't preferable in 99% of situations but sometimes its just unavoidable, so consider these active and passive items
i would imagine their prices to be low given that they take up a slot and have limited usage

Guilt Trip:
Affects killer.
When activated, you won't immediately turn into a ragdoll. Instead, your body glows before turning into 3 ghostly projectiles.

these would come with stat boosts obviously, though i dont know what kind of stat boosts would be appropriate

Passive items sound cool, those actives sound incredibly broken lol.

I figured since they require you to die to activate, they should have a potent effect, otherwise, they wouldn't be very useful.
Additionally, if you happen to just not die within the activation window, it would be a waste. A Healing active item would have been better.
The projectiles of Guilt Trip are intended as a telegraph for the attacker, not as an actual projectile mechanic, but it doesn't have to go through walls if the ability to avoid them with cover would make it more interesting to fight.
