Upcoming Lore FAQ

[Hawk]

Are Death Knights alive or dead?

I can answer that.

On CotH, we actually leave that up to the discretion of the player. Some DKs are living, some are dead.

It all depends on how they were "made", so to speak.

But it might be an idea to include this in the Lore FAQ, regardless, just to have it clearly written somewhere.

For the record, guys, I haven't forgotten about this. I've just been busy, signing up for college and dealing with other distractions.

I don't know when exactly I'll get to this, but feel free to continue making suggestions. I would like for it to be a Q/A for questions that are asked often, so I won't be including obscure things that the majority doesn't need to know.

[Beltharean]

In the RPG Druids can turn into literally any animal; Do we follow the totem system of Druidism, or the 'do whatever' system?

How is the healing by Light different than that of nature magic?
-Can it restore limbs?
-Does it leave scarring?
-How does it feel?
-Why can it do or not do certain things?
-How hard is it to do such for either magic?

Personally, if the Light can ressurect from ash and heal a soul, I think it can restore a limb.

[Delta]

I too am a bit dubious over resurrection via the Light being able to reform a body from scratch but not someone's finger, lopped off in a torture session cooking accident.

[Spiralin]

Wow, I never had any idea or ever heard of the Light not being able to restore limbs, definitely something I'd like to know about, as well.

[Rigley]

I've always been told it can restore limbs provided the limb is there to be healed back on. ...

Was there somewhere where this was said otherwise?

[Ural]

Something like...
BestFred: "His head exploded!"
Healdude: "Hold the pieces together, I can heal that."

Might be a stretch?

[c0rzilla]

I've heard a GM or two have said a limb cannot be grown back. Healed back on, but not healed back. I do not, and personally will not, believe this limitation exists to such creative power.

[CharizardDylan]

I believe it has something to do with the science behind each type of healing.

Nature enhances the the body's natural healing. Such as the rate at which a cut closes, or the rate at which the blood clots.

I don't know the science behind light...

[Rigley]

I've heard a GM or two have said a limb cannot be grown back. Healed back on, but not healed back. I do not, and personally will not, believe this limitation exists to such creative power.

I believe this stems from a few things here:

-Light being used to heal limbs back onto a person

-Light being used to revive a person from a body part.

The second is honestly more of an OOC thing as far as I've wanted to think, more of a way to explain how a person blown to pieces could be revived- This comes, of course, from how resurrections can't be denied, if a person should want one.

...Then again, I'm terrible when it comes to magic, light and stuff, so I'd much rather figure this out from Grakor's own responses. I tend to divert most things like this to others.

Forget your magic, just be an engineer!

[Psychyn]

This could be a nice addition. A list or perhaps summary of the instances that have been cleared ICly, which bosses are dead, and what a possible adventurer ICly would still find at the instances.

Unless every instance has been thoroughly raided and looted clean that is.

Where is the lore supporting this? Just something that's stymied me constantly.
