[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8777134, member: 86653"] There's a lot of mixing in-character and out-of-character knowledge and tossing in random potential complications in this post. Healing magic works on whatever Matt calls revenants. There's nothing in the mechanics stopping raise dead or reincarnate from working on Laudna. According to Matt's bring back the dead house rules you call to the soul of the person, either they answer or they don't. Then there's the roll. Pass or fail. The only exception or complication to this we've seen in the entire time of CR live plays is Molly, Lucien, and Kingsley. Same soul, just fragments...or Matt and Taliesin set up the character to be a roulette wheel of personalities on death. It's possible Matt (and Marisha) set up Laudna to do something different with death and coming back. But we don't know. It strikes me as an odd assumption to make that doesn't really have any evidence as yet. Totally possible, sure. But no reason to assume. In story, there's no reason not to use them and their resources. But that's not the only consideration. Relying on high-level NPCs to solve their problems undermines the PCs as main characters. If anything goes wrong, they can always just call in the big guns...which utterly undercuts any and all threats and consequences. It's one of the big reasons you don't let PCs have those kinds of connections. [/QUOTE]
