			== Vitae Penalty ==
			Players receive a reduction on their life force, called vitae penalty, upon each death. Each death adds 5% vitae penalty, with a maximum penalty of 40%. Your vitae penalty reduces your health, stamina, mana, and all your skills by the given percent.
			<br><br>To recover your vitae you must earn experience. No experience is actually lost upon death, nor do you lose the experience needed to recover your vitae. Your vitae is simply recovered as you earn more experience. The amount of experience required to recover 1% of vitae varies by level and is influenced by your number of deaths. Only experience you earn yourself goes towards recovery - allegiance pass-up does not help.
			<br><br>Note that while technically you ''lose'' vitae on death and need to recover it, many players will say they have ''gained'' vitae upon death. Players will often refer to vitae recovery as burning vitae. Common abbreviations for vitae penalty are vitae, VP, and vit.

			:<font color=green>Vitae penalty has expired.</font>

			== Corpse Decay ==
			Corpses decay at a rate of your current level times 5 in minutes, with a minimum length of 1 hour. After a corpse decays, all of the items it contained are placed on the ground. Once on the ground, the items are subject to the normal decay timers for any item placed on the ground.
			<br><br>While player corpse lifespans may be short, this time may be greatly increased depending on the location of the body. The corpse decay timer is only active when the [[landblock]] it is located within is also active. Because of this, corpses can exist for a long time, even for months or years, if they are located in a rarely visited spot.

			== Corpse Permissions ==
			Your corpse is "locked" when you die and may not be looted without your permission ''unless you are designated as a [[Player Killer]]''. You may choose to grant other players the ability to loot your corpse using the @permit command. Note that this command only grants permission to loot one corpse. If you have multiple corpses, you will have to issue the command for each one. You may only give permission to players that are currently logged on. This means you cannot permit one of your own characters on the same account.
			<br><br>
			See [[Death and Corpse Commands]] for all commands relating to permissions.
