If you go with them, you are dead for real, and beyond the possibility of resurrection.<br /><br />That being said, you can also try to fight or evade the Psychopomp. If you manage to do so, then you can hang around the mortal world as a Ghost.<br /><br />I also added a rule where a passing spirit, such as a Ghost or Demon/Angel can possess other bodies. So if you're just a Ghost floating around and you manage to take over or steal someone's body, you can keep going on as if you were just normally alive. However, this is a crime against God and Nature and the Church or another ecclesiastical authority might be coming after you to re-kill you, but who cares, you're alive!<br /><br />The latter idea might be a very good option if the Psychopomp who comes to take you to the afterlife has horns and smells of brimstone. Bad people die too, remember? <br /> Yami Bakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266174008401745128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-53805561652836408272019-04-24T16:08:05.846-07:002019-04-24T16:08:05.846-07:00I love this, would only make one change, if you su...I love this, would only make one change, if you successfully destroy death, your character is now required to fill the office of death, the player must roll a new character.

It was one of my first posts, so you'll have to excuse any poor quality: https://pilgrimtemple.blogspot.com/2017/05/death-fighting-it-and-magic-item.html<br />Mine was more a take on death saves than any post-mortem affair. It was also heavily based on Arnold K's ideas on souls. Hope you like it!Pilgrim Processionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246889904411128383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-41395975798553139022019-04-15T14:10:13.490-07:002019-04-15T14:10:13.490-07:00I ran a one player game and the player recklessly...I ran a one player game and the player recklessly blundered into being captured by foes that wished to render their body. The player woke up strapped in to the rendering chamber and successfully bargained for their life, by proactively proposing a better deal for the renderers. Way more fun than some painfully implausible escape attempt. I think I will do as you have written in the future, play out the appearance of Death and reward the players who propose a way out.
