[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 3778457, member: 46713"] Fair enough. Have I ever mentioned, I just [b]love[/b] to discuss RAW? ;) I can see how you're arguing this case, however: There are lots of other things the 'dead' condition does [b]not[/b] mention. For me the decisive thing it doesn't mention is this: It doesn't mention anywhere that you can no longer act! It mentions you no longer heal, nor can you be healed magically. Your soul leaves the body and you start to rot. Unless I am mistaken, none of these things actually imply you're no longer able to move, act, etc.! So my conclusion would be: Unless you also apply some common sense (in my experience corpses have a difficult time acting in any meaningful way), RAW doesn't really allow you to play the game. I concede that I won't be able to convince you otherwise regarding the issue at hand by just using RAW as a basis. [/QUOTE]
