AFTER THE FALL // INDIVIDUAL RULE ENTRY

Rule 17Updated July 20, 2026

Medical & Downed State RP

This is an individual rule page from the official After The Fall RP rules archive for players researching the server and its DayZ roleplay standards.

Definition of Downed

For the purpose of these rules, a player is considered downed when they are unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise in a recoverable state where another player can revive, drag, or medically treat them.

A player who has fully died, received the death screen, or respawned is not considered downed. Character death and New Life Rule requirements apply instead.

Revived Players

The revive and drag systems exist for RP.

If revived, you are out of combat and must realistically roleplay your injuries.

If you are revived after being downed during hostile RP, you may not re-enter or continue participating in the fight.

You must withdraw from combat, roleplay your injuries, and seek medical attention.

Continuing the fight after being revived may be considered NVL and FailRP and may result in a staff-enforced CK.

A revived player may defend themselves if they are directly attacked while attempting to withdraw. Self-defense does not allow the player to pursue attackers, recover a weapon to rejoin the fight, assist their allies offensively, or otherwise resume combat.

If you are not a medic, do not pretend to be a world-class surgeon.

Seek a doctor IC when appropriate.
