Life Force
Life Force is separate from ordinary health. Death can reduce it, and exhausting it can lead to permanent character loss. The fan guide describes restoration items and special states that change the penalty.
Sin
Sin is associated with actions such as grips and certain quest choices. Higher Sin can affect NPC access. The guide reports a curse at 50 Sin, while some progression NPCs require a minimum amount. Check the state displayed on your own character.
Aging
Characters age over time. Age-ups are linked in the guide to progression gates and some cooldown resets. Published timing brackets overlap at age 40, so this wiki does not present those timings as exact.
Before a risky encounter
Editorial advice: inspect your Life Force and any blessing or curse before treating a death as affordable. Do not assume another player’s penalty applies to your character.
