First of all, thanks for your interest. Don't be afraid that your questions are stupid, they show that you are interested in the matter.

As for the decay of the brain: You have indeed a point when you say that this world does not work necessarily after the laws of nature like the real world does. Magic could propably prevent it, but maybe only if the undead was revived by a necromancer which put such a spell into the resurrection.

As for souls, I didn't find much information about it in the MGE wiki yet, so I didn't write too much about it. From what I know, it's possible for them to manifest without a body, see Ghost or Will-o'-the-wisp. How about this? The brain decays, and therfore, the soul, which remains unharmed since immortal, loses not intelligence or consciousness, but control over the body. Like you can't move the arm when the muscles have rotten away, you also can't raise it if your brain is damaged. This leads directly to the loss of sensation. To be honest, this didn't even came to my mind when I wrote the articel and shows that I hardly covered every aspect there is.

To get back to the loss of sensation, if we assume that the body is not magically prevented from decaying, then we also must assume that eyes, ears, and nerves in general are also in a state of decay. Therefore, the undead would lose his senses as well the ability to interact with anything. It would be a quite painful existence if it were like this while the soul remains conscious and unharmed.

As for your last question, about the time stop. If someone's time had stopped in a way that would it make impossible to interfere with his state, then wouldn't that mean the he in return is also unable to interfere with his surroundings? He would be indeed invincible, but also not able to do anything on his own. Maybe, it would be like this: Time has stopped to a degree that the person does not age anymore. However, he could still be harmed or interfered with, but maybe he wouldn't bleed or anything. Also, there is the possibility that his body would return to the state it was before the injury.

Again, thanks for your time, and I think I'd like to rp with you some time.
