There’s lots of ways to get around character death. Resurrection is available, if sometimes expensive, and you can cut deals with the Reaper on your Last Breath roll. But what if you couldn’t come back?
When you declare that you are going Hardcore, X happens until you meet Y condition. However, until Y condition is met, if you die, you are dead permanently. No Last breath, no resurrection. Dead. Forever.
What would be your X benefit and Y condition?
Sub.
X could be a +1 bonus on the loot table? xD
Definitely interested in this!
Become Death Itself. Until you replace death itself as the world’s soul reaper, when you die Death will seek to crush you, and never offer a bargain.
Well, I’m talking more about something that occurs at a meta game level. Something that raises the stakes of a scene by putting the character’s plot immunity on the line.
