Downed

A character can be downed rather than killed. While downed you cannot use most functions; you wait either to be rescued by another player or to respawn.

On death the game shows what killed you and the damage it dealt, and leaves a bonepile with your name on it. A stimpack revives you where you fell; a medikit lets another player revive you. A recall scroll, used once, takes you straight to your registered respawn point without dying^[1].
