 Injury and Death |
| When a character falls to zero hit points or less, they will slowly bleed to death. There is a chance they might stabilise before they die. In this case, their hit points will slowly increase until they are able to get back on their feet. A character who is bleeding to death can be saved if someone uses bandages on them. If your hit points fall to -10, you are dead. You can be brought back by someone using ressurection or raise dead on you, or you can respawn. Characters who respawn usually appear at a shrine or temple at the last settlement they visited. The penalties for dying are: 50 xp per level for respawning. 30 xp per level for being raised. 20 xp per level for being ressurected. However the penalties are lower for characters of level 8 and 9. On top of this, any magical items you are carrying may decay. After 20 deaths, an item's enchantment will fade and it will need to be re-enchanted. Some items are immune to decay. These will usually be items given to you by a DM as a quest reward. Players who come back from the dead are ill for a time, although a cleric may be able to help with this. |
