I also prefer resurrection to have consequences.
When a PC is raised in my homebrew setting, there are a number of complications.
When a PC is raised in my homebrew setting, there are a number of complications.
- Firstly, the gods jealously guards the souls they claim. If you want one back, you have to give them one in return. Think of the challenge of a good-aligned party trying to find someone to volunteer for the sacrifice.
- Secondly, the person who comes back from the dead remembers how she died. If she faces a situation similar to that in which she was killed, she must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or else become frightened of the appropriate creature, or circumstance. She overcomes this fear if she succeeds in this saving throw.
- Thirdly, the person who comes back from the dead remembers where she went when she died. This can be a source of angst or comfort, depending on the character's disposition and where she ended up going.
