    Devin what a way to get back to the original question!

    He is right, when you vanquish an NPC you can choose to kill them, they cant get back up after that from healing or any such thing.

    PCs on the other hand are a different matter

    Technically when anyone is downed they don’t die, raw. This can lead to grey situations where players have to cold bloodily murder people they hoped would have been died in the fight. Throwing a fireball on an area with some downed minions deals a wound to them all. Just murder them if you don’t want them getting back up.

    I personally give players a choice and ask is ” he dead?” whenever they down foe, story pending.

    Ive stated it before, but I don’t have minions pop back up, and I think its very much along the lines of I would rather play a game where I can handwave the defeated people than force the game into casually murdering people left and right because of game mechanics.

    Defeat is more abstract than death, and unless the game would significantly benefit from death and gore, that’s not how I roll.

    some of Judges I have played with, have had my Pet Pigs (wardog stats) give up the fight once they are vanquished and revived. Judges often take control of the Pet and have it cautiously advance away from the fight to lick their wounds.

    The answer is basically, from the Chronicler’s PoV, only stand them up if it is fun.
