dying

When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of your chosen hometown. Your corpse is left behind in the room you were killed in, together with all of you equipment. If you are in a clan, you will be reincarnated back inside your clan house. Any spells that were affecting you are cancelled by death. After reincarnation, you are given infravision to aid you in finding your corpse. Following and groups are not affected by death, except for your pets or charmies. You lose experience points for dying. The amount will vary depending on your current experience and the maximum experience you may have gained previously prior to other deaths. Corpses decay after time, and if they do any items inside them will be returned to the pit of the hometown you recall to. Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time). Be warned: Anyone may loot anyone else's corpse. If you die 3 times you will lose 1 point of constitution. Should you be reduced to less than 3 constitution you will collapse and expire permanently ... have that final goodbye note ready. :) See also: 'help age'
