Emanuel de Montcalm readily enjoys the publicly posted letter and the author's evidently massive brass-balls. Crumpling up the letter in his hand and tossing it in the fire he made note to attend the affair as he would not want to miss such a powerful match involving the great Holy Ser Owyn de Joannes the Gallant, Most Resilient Protector of the Augustine, Champion of Southbridge, Champion of Anthosian Fair, Guardian of Sedan, Rescuer of Princesses and Contester of Boars

Witnessing (or fabricating) a character's non-PK death and ruling the individual to be "Undead" when learning they have been revived is permitted.
In my opinion this shouldn't be allowed. I've seen too often now during times of conflict on lotc people trying to force or peer pressure others by shaming them into a PK even when they abide by the rules.
If the person IC cannot be aware that they died, and that they have no memory of it then why should other people be able to hold onto their prior corpse and wave it around in their face? It promotes poor role-play and OOC bullying and I think this should be looked at again because this is the sort of thing that Staff should be in place to prevent and not endorse.
It would honestly be better if death was final and there were no monks to revive someone because it removes the problem entirely. As a community we should really just pick one instead of just fence-sitting.

Robert de Bourdon held the Cardinal in his arms, Imperial Soldiers clawing upon him like vultures as he sent off the dying man to the skies above. He wished that he too could die as well as the man before him, defying the tyranny of the earth and ascending to the skies above. Yet he was still young, but a boy. His constitution was strong and thus he endured the beating, just as he had endured the bolt which had failed to assassinate the Pontiff first time running.
