Editing Death Penalty (section)

==Character Corpse==
Upon death you will leave behind a corpse containing a number of your items.

===Location===
Your corpse appears at the place where you died, or if you are in the process of portalling it may appear elsewhere:
* If casting [[Portal Recall]], [[Primary Portal Recall]] or [[Secondary Portal Recall]] your corpse may be at the portal drop point.
* If casting [[Lifestone Recall]] your corpse may be at the lifestone you are [[Lifestone Tie|tied]] to (note this is the Item Enchantment spell and not the /lifestone [[Commands|command]]).<br>
Upon death there is a notification in your chat dialog stating what items you dropped, and your corpse location (if on the landscape). If you died on the landscape, you can get the location of your corpse later by using the /corpse or /cor [[Death and Corpse Commands|commands]].

===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.

===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.

See [[Death and Corpse Commands]] for all commands relating to permissions.
