 Many games implement [[Death]] through decrements in health as a result of repeated injury. Recovery may depend on self-administering some kind of remedy and/or spending time enough without taking damage. Moreover, recovery often comes at a cost, so it is inevitable to manage some level of injury. The problem is that players may lack the [[Awareness]] for imminence of [[Death]] and unwittingly (and avoidably) let the PC die.
-Providing clear indicators of [[Imminent Death]] promotes [[Awareness]] for the need to adopt a behaviour that reverses the evolution towards [[Death]]. Furthermore, both health and death are concepts with profound semantics and prominent association to emotions and values. That, at least, calls for a meaningful signaling ([[Emotional Script]]).

 [[Imminent Death]] is particularly relevant in the heat of an [[Engagement]] when the player may be deeply focused in other aspects of the conflict – timing, moves, tool selection, etc. – and attention is diverted from less evident health indicators.
