This entry includes an Execution in its Action or Effect.

Aliquem Morte Afficere
Weapon Types: Any & Weaponless
This action is granted to all characters and units.
Proactive & Triggered Action: When an Adversary becomes Vulnerable within a 3 Tile Reach, you may activate Aliquem Morte Afficere.
Celerity: 3 Action Slots
Movement: 2 Tiles
Reach: 1 Tile
Effect: Execution
Aliquem Morte Afficere may Knock Out or End the target.
Choosing to Knock Out the target causes them to be Knocked Out for the next 10 Minutes.
Choosing to End the target ends their story.
This is the End
There is no bringing others back from the end of their story without rewriting the story. Even the greatest divine mystics don’t have the power to bring back the dead. The only way is to go back in time and change the outcome of the event, and even then, there is a chance of Deathwatch. It was simply their time.
The purpose of most Executions including Knock Out is a simple one. There are no accidental deaths in the mechanics. You have a choice whether or not to use a Lethal Action when you activate an Execution.
Story Guide’s Notes
There are actions and effects in the game which bring characters or units back from the dead without them being Onum.
The setting doesn’t account for these effects.
A character capable of doing so is truly remarkable.
Unfortunately, since the dead nearly always rise as Onum, especially in certain areas, it may be difficult for supporting characters to see someone brought back to life as anything more than a walking corpse.
