Reinstitute Memory Loss on Death as a Rule

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Reinstitute Memory Loss on Death as a Rule

Post by ReverentBlade »

The other day I got to witness a series of events where someone was killed, respawned, and ran directly to the guards to recount the tale with perfect clarity literally before the body could even be disposed of. This is not, as far as I can tell, an explicit rule break. I propose we remedy this. I suggest making a blanket policy of one RL hour being wiped from your character's memory on respawn (not raise/rez).

The team did discuss it, and it was back and forth, but eventually it was decided to reject this and keep things how they are.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
