I have started playing D2-LOD and died for the first time while in act 2. This brought up a few questions that I haven't been able to find answers to on The Arreat Summit or here. I may have just missed it, but I couldn't find a detailed description of what happens when you die. I understand that you lose money and experinece, but was wondering about the details. The part I thought was strange and possibly a bug was as follows: When I died I had just leveled up to 17 and the experinece lose dropped me to a 16. It wasn't much of a lose, and I was soon a 17 again, but I was given a new skill point and 5 attribute point to distribute. I am not sure, but I looked through my skills and I don't think that I lost a skill (or attribute points) when I died and dropped a level. If they gave me a skill point and attribute points when I leveled up to 17 again, its like getting two skill points and ten attribute points for getting to 17. This seems like it would let someone just die repeatedly and get the benefits of leveling up with much less work. Is this true, or was I mistaken in what happened? If this is true, it would seem like a big bug.
