In a very fun twist where my character was betrayed, he was dying but stabilized then started gaining hp. Eventually he got enough back that he stood up - and the assassins finished him off.

Very well done too by both - nice job both IC and OOC

"madcaddies" and "I hate Elves." PROPS.

Anyway, my character was forced to stand up.

Would it be possible for RP purposes that characters remain on ground and can play dead? Only get up when they want to?

I noticed that when I respawn characters lay down until you have them get up.

Would this be possible if you regain those lost hp but dont' die?

Could make for some good rp situations.....yes?

That sounds pretty cool.. or maybe the character would be required to make INT/WIS checks to keep up the charade so others might think he's dead.. if he fails he groans, moves around or something to indicate he's still alive.

Sounds like a scripting headache though..

I would think you could emote in and all those involved would let it pass if proper rolls were done..however if they had been working I guess we could fall back and such or lie down..

Still waiting to run into those two again...

You should be able to emote laying down via the crafting menu.

I'm unsure about how effectively you should actually be able to "play dead." I would guess that it would involve some sort of Bluff check, at minimum.

That said, I'll look into ways to make characters not automatically stand up when they stop bleeding. I am aware that that has caused issues in the past.
