[QUOTE="epithet, post: 7108449, member: 6796566"] First, and this is just my opinion, but taking away a spell slot is nuts. If you're gonna screw someone over a rez, at least make it the dead schmuck and not the priest. Second, though, your revival cost point system is an interesting idea. I think I would tend to make it more akin to becoming undead, so vulnerability to radiant damage and resistance to necrotic, susceptibility to turning and undead control spells, etc. If your campaign has a prohibition on characters of evil alignment, then it could be very effective to say that after coming back 12 times you can't have a good alignment, and after 18 you are evil (and an NPC.) Even if your actions are virtuous, the stain is upon your soul. I would suggest, however, that there has to be some way to undo the damage and reset your revival points. It should be epic, probably extra-planar, and could even be a big secret at first. You need to know what it is, though, and be ready for players to make the redemption of their rez-tainted souls a big freakin' deal. [/QUOTE]
