Creatures - New Shadow STR Drain Change

[failed.bard]

Definitely going to have to test that out.  0 stat, should = dead.

  I should note, that with the current bleeding system, it wasn't death, but down and bleeding to death, same as any instant death attack I've seen lately except implosion.

Shouldn't the insta death ability/spell result in the actual -death- of a PC? To be honest i was surprised when once when i got -killed- by an inst death ability I didn't die, but had HP reduced to 0 bringing my PC to the bleeding to death state.

Well drained to 0 and "bleeding out" is fine by me.  Gives you a spot of weakened wheezing for some cleric to come up and save you from impending doom.

I think it would be more interesting to, that if you get killed by a Shadow that the game Spawns another Shadow (you) like it's supposed do by description.

drained to 0 stat is fine, but drained to 0 level is technically equal to a death spell such as finger of death and both effects should result in death, not bleeding. I concur that a single stat drained to 0 could cause bleeding effect, because you still have a few others above 0 what theoretically could constitute the situation that you still live.... well maybe con drain to 0 should equal death as well

Right but it could be something related to the Bleeding Script If said Death takes you to 0 hitpoints, which turns on the bleeding.
