Okay, please I am really bad at spelling in honestly do not think of this post as bad, But my idea is a Revive Token. Once Beethro steps onto the Token, He well be able to die once, once that happens Beethro will be moved back to the token, while the monsters and other game elements are at their original position (They are not reset if that makes more sense.)

Thank you, tell me what you think! :)

I actually really like the idea and I think it has puzzle potential!

The idea has been in the back of my head for quite some time now, and from today I finally put it forth, It might of been better if I said something before TSS went into beta testing. However the next drod, (Which i am guessing is aimed around 2017 - 2018) might spark the idea.

It sounds very interesting.
I wonder what happens if something is covering the token when the player revives. I imagine a monster in that space would simply be killed.

If the player can kill by body bump (e.g. Beethro with power token), the monster dies. Otherwise, the player dies (again).

Beethro with power token can kill with his body??
Pretty sure that is not the case.

Interesting. I would only suggest that it works like a mimic potion - the player gets to spawn a 'unliving' copy that becomes alive once they die.

Oh, I guess he can't. And here it seemed so elegant a mechanic.

Now I'm thinking we need to have a player role that is able to "punch" enemies to death by bumping into them.

But rerailing the thread, I do like the idea! :)

Jeff, we do have the slayer.
You could probably just disarm his hook and you'd have a character that would kill things by bumping.

That might be too "powerful", and get in the way of being able to make interesting puzzles with it (they'd end up being get-awkward-monster-onto-token-space-then-die)... There would also be problems with serpents and other things that cover more than one space.
Perhaps more interesting would be if you remained dead if you die when the token space is covered. This would allow puzzles such as preventing tar or babies, or even just roaches on the other side of a wall, from getting in the way.

The Slayer kills enemies by stepping on them. I mean bumping into the enemy like an obstacle, except it kills the monster. :P

I don't see this token being implemented as-is, but with something like this it could be possible to script something similar.
