Editing A New Beginning/Current House Rules (section)

===Incapacitated and Dying===
Essence-Users do not die when taken below Incapacitated. They are merely disabled. Killing an essence-using character, to explicitly include exalts and select heroic mortals, requires an additional attack action after disabling them to "finish the job". Ending an Exalt is considered bad form, as reoccurring opponents are nice to have. Bonus XP will be rewarded for not killing important characters at the Storyteller's discretion.
