[QUOTE="WalrusThief, post: 5317769, member: 94979"] Someone brought this to my attention recently, and it's been bothering me. There are no rules that state you are in any way hindered by being dead. When you are "dying" you fall unconscious (PHB 135), but this can be easily bypassed by Diehard (PHB 93). If you have Diehard, you do not fall unconscious while dying. The rules do not state that you fall unconscious when dead. You do not benefit from natural or magical healing and your soul immediately departs to one of the outer planes (PHB 307). It doesn't say that this has any harmful effects on your body. (I know this is ludicrous, I'm simply looking for rules backup.) The only issue I can see is things like Trap the Soul wouldn't work on you, and you probably couldn't use Incarnum. I've only looked through the core books though. Anyone have any insights? Keep in mind I am only looking for RULES AS WRITTEN. I know that no sane DM would allow this to stand. [/QUOTE]
