AI GM be like: "Yep. Seems legit."

Probably should go join the Thousand ~~Suns~~ Sons. They might set you up with some nice power armor.

This is the real meaning of the exception that proves the rule.

Why would it matter if it says you die? It's not like there's a rule that dead characters can't take actions. Or that they transform into objects. Or get sent to another plane of existence depending on who they worship and their alignment while leaving an object behind.

I would argue that by this logic, your ability scores also fall to 0, killing you

I'd like to imagine that this is how non-necromantic sapient undead creatures are created, someone has all their flesh incinerated away but somehow their soul clings to the bones, and bam sapient skeleton.

In this case it could result in a poltergeist, which uses the dust to interact with things.

Well memed, but it's no fun to try to argue with someone who will take everything in bad faith, even as a joke.

I’m just going to swing for the fences with the always objectionable, “fiction trumps rules.”
