Death

So what happens if you die?

When your character reaches 0 hit points they fall in battle. They are not dead outright.

  • If, in the next 3 rounds, a character can revive them, they will survive the battle with 0 hit points and be unconscious.
  • The player can be healed, but has disadvantage on all rolls until a short rest is taken.

Even if your allies manage to save your life, there are still consequences.

When your hit points are reduced to zero you become touched by the enemy that did it.

*Touched means that you take on certain traits of the enemy that killed you.

*The types of enemies and what effect they have on the player, if killed by them, are below.
