Death in LOREKEEPER

Death is a real possibility in LOREKEEPER. When your character’s hit points reach zero, the consequences depend on whether you are playing solo or with others.

​
Single-Player: Reversible Death

In single-player campaigns, death is not the end. Your character can be resurrected, but it comes at a cost: you lose some gold and one item from your inventory. The penalty keeps death meaningful without forcing you to start over. There are five resurrection methods:
  1. Resurrection scroll: A rare consumable item found as loot or in shops.
  2. Divine intervention: A deity restores you, often with a narrative twist.
  3. Resurrection quest: Complete a trial in the afterlife to earn your return.
  4. NPC healer: A powerful allied NPC performs the ritual.
  5. Resurrection spell: A party member or allied caster brings you back.
The AI DM selects the method that fits the narrative context best.
Carry healing potions and pay attention to your hit points during combat. Prevention is far cheaper than resurrection.

​
Multiplayer: Permanent Death

In multiplayer campaigns, death is permanent. When your character falls, they are gone. This raises the stakes considerably and encourages careful strategy, teamwork, and smart resource management.
Multiplayer permadeath makes every decision matter. Coordinate with your party, share healing items, and avoid reckless charges into overwhelming odds.

  • Equip the best armor and defensive gear available.
