D.I. here meaning Divine Intervention (Rory said that DI doesn't exist in HQ, but Divine Intervention does, so I'm not sure)? Well, once dead, can a character call out for their god? Or do they do this once dead as the soul of the dead being asking to be put back in the body?

I've been dealing with this stuff quite a bit lately, and it intrigues me. That is, I don't think it says in the book that if your character dies, that they have to be taken away from you. Certainly the character will not be able to do the things that they did when they were alive. But what about afterlife? There seems to be plenty of stuff explaining the afterlife in Glorantha and most fantasy worlds. Does it make sense to play a character after death and on into the afterlife?

Or would you just allow this sort of Post Life play just long enough to make one plea to the ol' diety for clemency? Or not even that?

Mike
