on death and dying

i like the way this server has a bleed-out on-death event w/possible recovery. i'd like to propose this be taken one step farther. if a player chooses to respawn, it would be good if the character had 1 round of respite from the things that killed him. a temporary greater sanc, or temporarily changing the char's reputation vis à vis the baddies would work.

what do you think?

Under normal operation, the death system, at RESPAWN should port the revived PC to either the FUGUE PLANE, or start point in Port Chonda, or your PCs BINDSTONE Location, or your PC's TEMPLE, or lastly I _think_ there is a 'return to where I died' option. I'm guessing that this last option is the one you seek to have changed? If this is so I'll review the code and we'll discuss this here.

Be well. Game on.

actually, none of this happened. i got the death gui, pressed respawn, and my char respawned in exactly the same place as where she'd fallen. one round later a daze effect was applied and the hostiles lit into her again, killing her immediately. personally, i think any of the options you mentioned would be cool, definitely better than the alternative!

OP, please check your PMs. We will try to diagnose this via PMs for now, will post a follow-up once we deduce the cause of the anomaly.
