Matters of Life and Death
Often in the Acarthian Campaign, there are story elements that occur that may make you question how it will affect your character. For example, in the beginning of the 2018 season, some characters in the world began dying on their first resurrection. This story element changed how the mechanics of the world worked, but did not change the mechanics of the game. Resurrection for players still worked as it normally did, with two free deaths and then the beads in the bag.
This post is intended to remind players that no matter what story elements may occur, the mechanics of the game will not change. Life spells, Death spells, killing blows, bleeding out, all of these will continue to work as is written on pages 90-91 on the Alliance Rulebook. Even if there is a story element that implies Death spells turn people into greater undead, the mechanics of a Death spell on a player will not change.
To be entirely clear about the purpose of this clarification, the game mechanics of Life spells, Death spells, killing blows, bleeding out, and resurrection will work as written even over the upcoming October 11-14 event. This is a little more abstract than my normal rule clarification posts, so if any part seems unclear, please ask!
