You should not be allowed to murder an ethereal just because they revive with the crystal

Post by iamgoofball » #645555

Ethereal crystal revives inflict a permanent, unfixable brain trauma, which can be extremely painful to deal with. Certain players have been abusing the guaranteed ethereal revive to skip the "bringing them to medbay" part of escalation, or to justify increased lethality in combat.

Can we rule that you still need to drag ethereals to medbay and that murdering them on the spot just because they revive with the crystal isn't okay?

There is no need to make a ruling just for Ethereals. Escalation policy already covers what we expect of players and applies as normal.
... If the conflict leads to violence and you had a poor reason for causing conflict in the first place, you may face administrative action ... If a conflict leads to violence and either participant is incapacitated, the standing participant is expected to make an effort to treat the other, unless they have reason to believe the other was an antagonist.
