I think that there are some things that are assumed to be simply understood that the meaning is clear, such as when your character dies, it means he's dead.So death is defined by the conditions that cause death, and the result of this condition is that your character dies.  Before death is Dying, and during dying is unconsciousness, which is explicitly stated as a condition that means you can perform no actions.But as far as games go, don't we all know what it means to die?Pointing out something is not forbidden doesn't mean it's legal.  You could also say that nothing in RAW forbids characters reincarnating instantly at level 30 and with the ability to overrule the GM.If you want to quibble about what it means to die, then you might as well debate every single term in the game that is not defined explicitly that are assumed to be understood.  If you claim that something is legal because it's not forbidden, then that's an infinite number of possibilities.The rules also don't say you can't use a D20 that has a 20 printed on every side does it?Is there a rule about weighted dice?Is there a rule that says that players can't pass through walls as they wish?Is there a rule that says you have to play with someone who makes ridiculous RAW arguments?</blockquote>
