What is "Specced" for combat? as I see it, even the hammer you use to smith items is a formidable weapon if you know how to use it; that is going by the idea that skill in combat matters more than what you are wearing. So if you are a master swordsman, you can hold your ground with nearly any sword weapon.
Though I wouldn't be against the notion of the Deva being able to transfer the highest (Or player chosen) skill of a player over to a newly created charachter on the same Deva; that way even if you are killed, you retain your most important skill, but the initial charachter is dead.
Some people use lastnames to name their charachters, here is a perfect example of a use of a lastname, your charachters are tied with the last name; one is dead, but others retain it, and thus your reputation
