Returning To Life

When a dead player is returns to life by one of these means they must loudly declare ‘ALIVE!’, at which point they immediately lose their ‘Dead’ condition and become a living player once more.

There are two ways a dead player can return to life: Respawning and Revival.


Respawning

Each Amtgard activity will have rules for when, where, how, and even IF players are able to respawn after death. Consult the rules for your particular activity or check in with the Game Organizer or Reeve during setup. Most commonly, players will have to wait a certain amount of time (called a ‘Death Count’) and then automatically return to life at a specific respawn location.

When a player returns to life by respawning, they are restored in the following way:


Revival

Revival occurs when a player is returned to life through a means other than Respawning, such as the use of an ability like the Resurrect spell.

See the Revive keyword for further details.
