Question about PVP death + Planar Touched

[Quiett]

Penalty will still be on death, but not trigger or be reduced for PvP.

Think more in character terms rather than worrying about metagame things and then you can have some fun.

An Aasimar Pali generally will defend his turf against any opponent no matter the odds (most Palis are lawful-stupid), while a Githzerai rogue would be more apt to see what kind of skill the invaders have and whether it's in his interest of survival to fade into the background.

This is the only info I could find on the forums about PvP Death and playing a Planar Touched human. I'm not positive what Lokey meant by 'not trigger or be reduced'. Not trigger as in, not lose the XP, or not be redused as in, not reduce the amount of XP lost.

There is alot of disagreement on whether you lose, or are supposed to lose XP when PK'd. If a Dev could clear this up, I'd greatly appriciate it.

If your character is a planar race and you die, you take the normal xp & gold penalties. It just means you need to be a little more wise as to which battles you run into. Makes it a bit of a pain when you get randomly pked by someone, as it doesnt matter wether you get raised or respawn, your gonna get penalized.

I've played a plane touched race once. You really gotta put some effort into surviving, as all a raise dead does is take the walk-back out of it. I dont think i'd ever build a character with a planar race that i actually planned on using for much PvP. Duels get to be quite expensive, if you die half a dozen times, thats a nice chunk of xp, and could too easily drop you back a level.

Planar races are a neat idea, but the penalties for dying, even in pvp, are a little too expensive too have much fun with it. Maybe if the penalty was toned down a bit for pvp, like kill the gold loss (of course a mule can take care of that too), and maybe something like 10-25xp/lvl instead of 50?

Ok, I've been PK'd ALOT lately. Not a complaint, I'm putting myself into that situation on purpose. Two resons I was doing this. 1. Wanted to test my character out on other people finally. and 2. finally answer this question. I'm a Tiefling and have been PK'd about 35 times in the last 3-4 days. Not once did I lose XP from a PvP death. Oh and to answer the first question. My build isn't that good at PvP

Cheers!
