skill loss through death

[Elaralith]

I agree totally with Dyluck. A wounded or "knocked-out" option should become available and replace the current "cloud status" or "dead status". The graphic should be altered to as a cloud is a bit ridiculous for a wounded person, perhaps a person lying spread-eagle on the ground with some red (blood) on to show "wounded status". The skill loss could still happen as being wounded still affects skill. I mean if your hand got broken your carpentry skill would go down, and if you got a club to the head and you should lose some memory. Again, I also think that "dying" should be left to the character to be roleplayed. It shouldn't be an ingame thing, as its pretty ridiculous for people to have technically died many times, but each time reappear. Its true illarion is fantasy and a different world, but even in such an environment multiple deaths for a character is quite strange. As you said Bror, it took a powerful healer to resurrect but right now it really doesn't take a "powerful healer" to do that. Many healers can. Taking away the "dead status" would eliminate that annoying fact. Also Bror death by the very fact that it can happen so easily and so often currently makes it a thing that is not feared but accepted as a day to day thing. Most people I know have "died" multiple times. If it (death) was not something that was technical that would make it even more feared. By the way, not all characters must "fear" death. Some like the Elves really don't fear it as they have lived centuries, basically they see death as the next life to be welcomed with joy.
