	Attacking another player character outside of an agreed ~~nonlethal~~ duel or sport is a very serious ordeal, and is expected to be portrayed as such. Even though the Risen are nigh-immortal, there are severe consequences for being caught attacking another Risen with perceived lethal force. If you attack another player character, you must accept that if you were caught doing so, or if the character ultimately survives (which they probably will) being attacked and convinces the Reeves that you intended to kill them, your character will most likely be '''Exiled''', or in more serious circumstances immediately escorted to the Well to be '''Drowned''' (One of the only known ways to permanently kill a Risen).
