[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4025200, member: 710"] Looking at the DMG tables for populations (in my head, not in reality), I think it is not unlikely to find a Druid or Cleric capable of raising a character between level 1-10. At level 7+, if you have a Druid or Cleric, the party can do it itself (assuming it wasn't the "raiser" that died...) You don't need one of the rare metropolises for that. I take the statement as meaning that heroic characters do simply not have access to spells or rituals capable of raising someone. Also, higher level NPCs are less unlikely to be able to help you because the Paragon levels of raising are not suited for everyone. Maybe it takes a lot of time and money, so even if you find a Paragon level NPC, it's unlikely he has the time or you the resources to get it done. If you are in the paragon tier, you will probably do it yourself. ... Then, I am also considering that some ressourection magic/rituals are in fact restricted to the level of creatures they can raise. Maybe it's just a lot less likely for such a ressourection to succeed, or it's plain impossible. Epic level heroes are... well, epic. They might have a god or high level entity that favors them enough to "cheat" a little bit with the soul-wandering to its Afterlife and delays a dead heroes soul long enough for ressourection magic to work easier for them.
