Life suffixes

A magic item with one of these suffixes modifies the player character's Life when the item is equipped.

Adding or removing the item will change both maximum and current life accordingly.

Removing a benefic Life item or wearing a cursed Life item when it would set the character's life to zero will kill the character in the dungeon, and set his life to 1 while in town. Dying this way will not make the character drop its equipment, but will still drop half of its gold.

A character having a maximum life of zero will still have its life set to zero. Prior to 1.6.0, when resurrecting in town with a maximum life of 0 or less, the character will die again.
