Damage after death

[LoneWolf]

Does a character that is dead take BODY from attacks?  The rules state that a character is dead when he reaches negative BODY equal to his starting BODY score.  But does the character still take BODY after they reach this point.   The reason I am asking is because of the resurrection add on for regeneration.  

 

Let say a character has 15 BODY and has 1 BODY regeneration per day with resurrection.   The way the regeneration works is that the character gains 1 BODY per day.  If the charter was hit with an attack that did 35 BODY or takes enough damage in attack to reduce him to -20 BODY.  The Character dies at -15 BODY, but for regeneration purpose is he at -15 or -20?  

 

As the GM I have defined the resurrection as having the same rate as his normal regeneration.  So the character heals 1 BODY per day.  How long would it take for the character to come back from the dead?  Also does further damage delay his return?

There are no official rules regarding damage to a body beyond the point of death, which leaves the matter up to the GM to decide based on the nature of the regeneration ability and the campaign in general. If the character is able to regenerate from a fine pink mist, then tracking Body damage beyond the point of death may make sense -- treat the dead body as any other object and work from there.
