Damage Type

• Bleed out:  15 count then death.  Any additional hits to non-armored areas counts as instant death.
  
• leg removal (cut):  leg is planted on the ground.  Taking a knee and exposing the "good" leg is still allowed but is optional. To move, must drag cut foot.  If you remove leg from the ground, you enter into a "bleed out".  In a non-combat situation you may remove the leg from the ground but you must walk slowly.  
  
• arm removal (cut):  place removed arm behind the back or on side if not able to.  hits travel through arm and anything it is caring.  You do not have to drop what is in the hand.
  

Death:  weapon on head and stay where you fell.  Able to either stand in place or go to the ground if able and safe to do.  If staying at the place of death is dangerous you should move to the closest safe location. End of game, if not resurrected you return to life.
Unblocked body hit is death.
head hits are not allowed unless damage is by a rock/spell ball, then instant death/spell effect. Head armor blocks this type of damage.
2 limbs removed cause the player to enter Bleed out condition.

Dead player: Weapons and armor cannot receive more damage.
raised dead:   armor and weapons can still take damage
