Inspired by @Greenstone.Walker s thread about percentage of adventurers in a fantasy realm I wanted to do a little free text survey about NPCs with class levels and how you handle it in your campaign.
If your PCs need to raise a companion from dead e.g. then there are a few possibilities:
A level 9 NPC cleric who can cast the spell (for a fee and the diamond)
Some other (cleric) NPC or a PC (everyone of these have to be able to do this of course) who uses a scroll (of course this would increase the cost eventually)
So how is this available in your campaigns?
Is it like some universal health system, aka all good and most neutral temples offer this to mostly anyone?
Or Temples offer this, but require the patient/corpse to be of the same faith?
Or is it not available because NPC(clerics) are not high enough level?
Or is it available as a scroll, but PCs need to do the casting or find someone who can do the casting?
Also please give similar examples for other possible services e.g. detect magic and identify by NPCs etc.
