Adventurers have dangerous jobs and death at some point is highly likely for any player character. Most PC deaths in Netheril: Age of Magic are temporary and can be survived either by talking to the NPC in purgatory and “respawning” (either to the Church of Conch or the place where the character died) or by the PC’s allies retrieving their body and resurrecting them via a scroll, spell or hiring the services of an NPC priest. All of these escapes from death will cost the character a percentage of their total experience points to represent the trauma of their occurrence. Current penalties are 5% to respawn, 3% if Raise Dead is cast, and 1% if Resurrection is used. In some situations, DMs will raise a PC without penalty, usually because a bug has caused the death. | Adventurers have dangerous jobs and death at some point is highly likely for any player character.
