Character Death

In the Ultima series, the eventuality of meeting one's demise is almost unavoidable. How this affects the adventuring party can vary greatly from game to game, however:

Ultima I
If killed in Ultima I, the player's character will be resurrected, but with only 99 Hitpoints, 99 Food, no Coin, and no weapons other than hands.

Ultima II
In Ultima II, when killed, the player is forced to resort to loading a previously saved game or creating a new character.

Ultima III
In Ultima III, if the entire party is killed, the player is forced to resort to loading a previously saved game or creating a new party of characters.

In the LairWare remake, the player has the option of resurrection, at the cost of all weapons/armour/equipment/coinage (other than starting items).

Ultima IV
In Ultima IV, previously dead characters will appear, restored, in Lord British's castle. Equipped items will be present, but gold and other items are lost.

Ultima V
In Ultima V, should the party perish, the spirit of Lord British will appear to resurrect them, but at the cost of experience points. The restored group will be transported in Castle Britannia.
