Manitous need a mortal soul to survive in the physical world. Unless your character has a lot of Grit, odds are you're just worm food. Very few characters come back from the dead, so you shouldn't go catching bullets hoping to come back with all kinds of cool powers. Some come back quicker, some take longer-especially if the body was mangled worse than usual. it takes a few days to fight for the hero's soul and then another 10-12 hours to dig herself out of the hole-assuming she was buried. Otherwise the manitous were not interested in the character's spirit and it passes unmolested through the Hunting Grounds to the Great Beyond. If the player draws a Joker of either color, her character is coming back from beyond the pale.
DEADLANDS RELOADED CHARACTER SHEET PLUS
Whenever a player character dies in the game and their body is mostly intact (especially the head), she draws 1 card from a fresh deck of cards plus 1 for every level she has in Grit. Weak or infirm mortals are only possessed when it suits some more diabolical purpose. These undead are called the "Harrowed," which means "dragged forth from the earth."įortunately, a manitous in an undead host is slain if the brain is destroyed, so they only risk their otherwise eternal souls on individuals with exceptional abilities. As the Pinkertons and Texas Rangers have learned, these individuals are actually possessed by manitous, evil spirits who use the host's mind and body to affect the physical world.
Strong-willed individuals sometimes come back from beyond the grave.
