| General Discussion If you have anything off topic to say or you are unsure where to post, this is the place to do so. | | Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

| Death? Well, got a two questions on the nice topic "death".
First one is: Do you die at 0 hp or, say, at -10? (i.e. you are unconcious if you got -5)
And the second one: Are you transfered to "abyss" or something like that, or do you get a "respawn/wait" message?
Oh, I nearly forgot it... Merry christmas!

| at -10. From 0 to -10 you are bleeding to death and can't do a thing. Quote:

| Re: Death? How do you RP the glow?
Or are you supposed to just park your char in the corner and come back in an hour (ie. you're a ghost, dont interact with anyone)? | | |

| Re: Death? I usually RP it just as a souless body. the time in relfection is the time it takes to "pull yourself toegther" so to speak. that is, pull the threads of your soul back to you. DT's are threads you never manage to pull back. Those that are familiar with the bindstones understand what's happened

| Re: Death? Oh, and this has to do with that quest announcement of Leanthor's from a little while ago?
The 'remembering threads' stuff that I didn't understnad was perhaps a global reduction in death tokens?
And how do others RP the glow? | | |

| RE: Death? People sometimes speak of seeing ghosts because it looks as if the body is semi-transparent. | | |

| Re: Death? During this time you are:
1) Not a ghost.
2) Not souless.
The ghost misconception is an unfortunate consequence of the "glow" being whitish. You're not a ghost, you can interact with the world, walk around, eat, talk to people, all the things a ghost can't easily do.
I've never head the "souless" idea before but the only time your soul is seperated from your body is the time between when you die, and when you appear at the bindstone. What the bindstone does, is put the soul and the body back together. Barring powerfull and obscure magics which can sometimes have unnatural effects like seperating the soul from the body in weird ways, if your soul is not with your body, it means you are dead. By powerfull magics I mean things like, transforming yourself into a lich or trapping a soul in a gem.
The "glow" just represents that you look very bad, worn out, tired, haggard and weak untill you have physically recovered from your soul being torn from then reunited with your body.

| Re: Death? Actually, i believe that when you're reduced to 0 HP you will will simply be rendered Unconscious (Stunned?) or something for a round and put back to 1 HP, but don't start losing HP immediately,

| Re: Death? ahh, well, dern. I thought the bindstones _were_ powerful magics. =P. Thanks for clearing that up, Talan. The glow just means sickly and haggard, gotcha.
