Fairer Alternative? (Destiny)
Yep. Some of the grenades fizzle if you die before they trigger. Axion Bolt, Fire Bolt, and Arc Bolt for sure just plain don't trigger their seeking / auto target effect if you die first. They will do some amount of damage (beyond the 2 direct hit "bonk" damage that ensures you get an assist if someone kills your target before your grenade goes off) if the thrown part of the grenade hits an enemy but that's all... and they won't light someone on fire for a Warlock. Also, the Gunslinger's flaming knife stops flaming if you die before it hits... sometimes it even seems to just vanish entirely but that might be slight lag correction.
I'm pretty sure any Damage over Time effect, like Touch of Flame will play all the way out regardless if you die or not though... as long as it starts before you die.
