Last Rites

A funeral bier of soul-fire and white candles around a single bed with a soul torch at its foot. The drawing burns; the bed remains. Your next deaths keep their experience — one more for each Tier.

How it works​

Last Rites is a funeral bier around a single bed. Right-click either half of the bed. The drawing burns away and the bed remains. On your next deaths, you keep your experience: one death at Tier 1, up to seven at Tier 7. Last Rites keep your experience (2 remain).

Your items still fall as usual. Last Rites guards only your experience.

Good to know​

  • Rites stack. Perform them again to add more, up to 21 stored deaths. The Last Rites already cling as strongly as they can (21).
  • When an Inheritance saves you, it keeps your experience, and the rite is left for another death.
  • Lament keeps your gear.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/lastrites.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.
