Perma-death house rule

[Overlord]

In the Digital 4th edition there was a rule that eliminated a player permanently from the game once his life reached zero. Is this also in the new edition? I cant seem to find it anywhere

This particular house rule isn't available in the new edition yet - we're going be rolling out a whole heap of house rules in the future, but the way we implement house rules got a big overhaul in 5th Edition.

While this means we'll be able to implement more complex house rules in the future, it means that we weren't able to carry over many from 4th Edition for launch.

So it's coming! And we appreciate your patience in the meantime. :)

I like the perma-death rule from the prior digital game too.

another kinda neat idea i had was players being able to respawn as new characters till there's no new characters to respawn as left, having characters that died be eliminated from the respawn pool, eventually leading to no one being able to revive anymore because there's no unused characters left.

Or like, there's 12 characters currently, So each player in a 6 player match could have 2 lives, a beginning character and a back-up, stock style perma-death.
