Ruling - Death

[Lord Dubh]

The full description of Death, to include the new section.

Death:

While dead a character may not move, speak, or perform any other actions for two minutes or at the discretion of an Elder. If a character is killed while in the midst of a weapon swing, the blow is still considered valid if the weapon was in motion at the time the participant sustained the wound.

When a character dies and returns to life via Hades or Elder intervention, he has no in-character memory of the events that occurred in the five minutes immediately prior to his death. He will not remember the circumstances surrounding his death, or who killed him. A dead character can gain no in-character knowledge and is unaware of his surroundings while dead.

As a participant you are to lay on the ground or get out of the way if you feel endangered of getting hurt. If the ground is wet then you may sit up with your weapon on your head. Do not leave the field until the fight is over. Anytime your character is dead and you are not laying on the ground, hold your weapon over your head.

If a character returns to life through magical means (within 12 minutes of his death), he retains all of his memories, up to the time of death.
