Conditions and Death and Back to Life


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

I may come up with this situation and I want to get some input.

Lets say a character is paralyzed for 4 minutes during combat, then they are killed while there are still a couple minutes left on the paralysis. Then the healer immediately casts breath of life and raises them back.

Are they still paralyzed?


Yup. Death wouldn't end other conditions, but it wouldn't pause them either. So if a character still had 2 minutes of paralysis left when they were killed, and then they were brought back to life 1 minute later, they'd have 1 minute of paralysis left.

I'm sure there are corner cases where this doesn't happen, but this is generally how it works.

Thanks! Not likely, but I was told by my wife I am too soft on the group and need to stop pulling punches. Since the final battle is coming up, I will try to play to win. lol
