Death

[Andrew Hackard]

When you are Dead as a result of a failed Run Away roll (or, VERY rarely, some other effect), you cannot receive any cards or level up for the remainder of that turn.

At the start of the next turn -- not YOUR next turn, the very next turn -- your character comes back to live, but without any cards other than the ones you're allowed to keep such as Class, Race, etc. You can receive cards from Charity, you can be given Items by other players, and if you manage to level up to Level 10, you can win the game. (I've never seen it happen but it's theoretically possible.)

At the start of YOUR next turn, you draw a new eight-card starting hand before doing anything else. If you want to play some of those cards before Kicking Down the Door, you can do so, just like at the start of the game.

The above is true whether your Death occurs on your turn or as a helper on someone else's.
