Life and death are a normal part of existence in the Knarf 2 Game, however death is not necessarily the end for characters. Characters might be brought back to life or might be raised as an undead creature. Characters that have been dead for only a short time may be raised by a Raise Dead spell or potion. Those that have been dead for much longer may be brought back to life using a Resurrection spell or potion. Or alternatively a dead character may be brought back to life and reincarnated in a different body using a reincarnation spell. Any character that has died and is brought back to life the first time gains 10 skill points for having been dead.

The other possibility is to come back as an undead. Necromancers and other practitioners of black magic can not be brought back to life using potions or spells, but will automatically return as some form of undead creature dependant on experience level. Black magicians and healers can similarly animate other dead and turn them into undead creatures. If a character suffers enough energy drains to kill him, he dies and returns as the same type of creature as killed him. Being bleed to death by a vampire will cause the character to become a vampire and return to existence an that type of undead.

The spirit or ghost of a character may be called upon to inhabit some house or other area and guard it through eternity. Even dead characters can be talked to using a Speak With Dead spell. So don't worry, if your character dies it isn't necessarily the end.
