Message: <blockquote data-quote="HighTemplar" data-source="post: 4519289" data-attributes="member: 77594">Thats a cool idea, but I can see why they call it dying as opposed to exhausted. If names were like that, being "exhausted" you would think of your character lying on the floor gasping for air not able to do anything. Now that the name is "dying", you picture him lying flat motionless starting to die. Names matter. Even if exhausted in this case would mean the exact same thing as dying. The whole point of this thread is that when you are dying, you're unconscious. You don't react to stimuli. You don't notice an elephant running at you wearing a clown costume, or an airplane passing 2 feet over your head. You're unconscious, you are considered deaf, blind, and probably completely senseless. You have no memories of what could have possibly happened while you were out. This makes a huge difference with being exhausted, where you couldn't didge the trampling elephant, but you sure as hell would remember being tramples by one while you were exhausted, unable to react if you survived(specially that it wore a clown outfit). As someone pointed out sooner, warlords could heal unconscious character because they could heal and direct/command an army of deaf, blind, one-legged lepers. It makes no sense to me that a warlord could affect anyone deaf. I'm hoping in some other life, the Divine keyword of all cleric powers versus the Martial keyword of all warlord powers will mean something thats not just a technicality.</blockquote>
