+# Limited Lives
+Limits the times players can die. Exceeding the limit will cause them to turn into a ghost or ban them.
+***
+## Description
+You can define how many times a player will be able to respawn after dying. If that limit is exceeded the player will either be banned or turn into a ghost, depending on the settings.
