Death

Death occurs whenever a character's health drops to zero. The character becomes a corpse and cannot perform any in-game actions (move, fight, trade, etc), except for the roll emote (oddly enough). They can still use chat features, map travel, and camera control. Being dead also allows a player to switch the camera to other party members' points of view by clicking the corresponding bar on the Party List. This allows a dead member to point out to a living member on his/her radar where to go.

A dead player can be resurrected by a party member or ally.

If all members of the party die in PvE, the whole party will be resurrected at a resurrection shrine, except on missions, where the whole party will be sent back to the outpost where the party started. They may restart from there.

Death always incures a Death Penalty except in the tutorial stage of Pre-Searing Ascalon or when death is caused by the removal, or end of spell such as Vengeance.
