[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3636750, member: 29746"] I have to agree with this. Worship Points most definitely should not go away, unless perhaps the deity is slain in front of all its worshipers somehow (and in that case, I have to ask: what were they doing in its home realm anyway?). Soul Objects would not logically lose their quintessence either. However, I think that death should cost the being some if not all of its Power Points, and probably whatever Resonance it was getting from an Aperture (at least, assuming that the slayers then bond with said Aperture and become the new Custodians). Resonance from another Immortal is a tough call, I'd say it would depend on precisely what the contract says. The character in my game, Equinox, had it in the Contract that Equinox's soul would be permanently lost to the god (Nexus) if killed, but in practice there was the possibility that it would take some time for Nexus to notice Equinox's death should it occur. This meant that I'd allow a certain "grace period" of perhaps an hour or so for the character to be brought back, after which the soul would be irretrievable and the player would need to make a new character. That's now null and void because the Contract was sort of taken over by a Far Realm entity due to circumstances I won't elaborate on- suffice it to say that Equinox now has a different Portfolio (Dominance got changed to Madness, though Concealment stayed in place), and the focus of the game has greatly changed in recent months as the party is now essentially crusading for the King in Yellow. What the "Contract" with the new owner says has never been determined... :] [/QUOTE]
