How about... Allowing the eliminated player to roll for hearts to resurrect the monster. Say 3 hearts to allow player to return with 1 HP, 4 hearts with 2 HP, up to 4 HP if he's lucky.Monster can only be resurrected once, losing all VPs and cubes, but keeping any cards acquired. So a resurrected monster faces an uphill task as he needs to survive a round before he can act again.
Just a suggestion... I have not tested it as our group is ok with the short duration of the player elimination. Potential downside is longer duration of each game?
