Death Prevention

Death Prevention is a mechanic added by the Thorium Mod. Normally, when a player reaches 0 life, they die and respawn after a short delay. Various items within the mod prevent, undo, or delay this process from happening, giving players a second chance to live. Prevent, Revive, and Delay are the current forms this mechanic can take.

Prevent

A Prevent stops a player from taking fatal damage, heals them by a set amount in most cases, and grants them brief invulnerability. All the below sources inflict a common debuff, preventing multiple death prevention means from being combined.

Source		Health restored	Duration	Cooldown	Additional effect
	Ghastly Carapace	5% of max life	While equipped	2 minutes	Teleports user to their spawn point
	Phylactery	25% of max life	While equipped	4 minutes	None
	Dream Catcher	All	While in aura	2 minutes	None
	Spiritualist	5% of max life	While buffed	5 minutes	Grants one of three buffs: Revenge, Protection, or Recovery

Revive

A Revive brings a dead player back to life, allowing them to continue fighting.

Source		Cost	Health restored	Additional effect
	Ancient Tome of Revival	250 Mana + 5 second cast time	10% of max life	Revived players suffer 30 seconds of Mortality.

Delay

A Delay makes the player invulnerable to damage and stops them from dying right away for a set duration. After the duration, regardless of their health, the player dies as they would have.

Source		Cost	Delay duration	Additional effect
	Technique: Last Stand	5 Technique Points	15 seconds	Grants 30% increased throwing damage and speed.

Notes

• Leaving and re-entering the world resets the cooldown of all death prevention effects, much like normal debuffs.
• Death caused by Technique: Last Stand can not be avoided by equipping another death prevention item before the 15 second timer on the buff granted after receiving would-be fatal damage runs out.
