Fortunately, after the fight a devil will tell the party that it is not yet time for the rebirth anyway, so they will not have to fight mega-Tiamat at 3rd level. Alas, PPP may still be just as dead. There is a cleric who can cast spare the dying, but with fighting death dogs and bearded devils, she may not get there in time.One of the characters is a Half-Orc Barbarian, who has the Ancestors subclass. I'm thinking that his spirit guide could tell him in a roundabout way that if he sacrifices a part of himself, then PPP can be brought back. But I'm not sure what would be a good sacrifice, without going overboard. I would like it to be something fairly significant. But he is still only level 3, and I'd hate to gimp him too much for the next 17 levels or whatever. And then there is the horrible thought that if the demand is too great, he might not do it at all.My first thought was that he gives up his Relentless Endurance, but that seems too much (although it would make such sense story wise). Another thought I had was giving up one level of hit dice, so that although he has all of the features of a barbarian of Level x, his HP and healing hit dice will always be one level lower. I'm not sure how I think about that.So any other suggestions would be appreciated. Or do you think I should not bother with this, and just let Princess Plot Point die and be dead? I'd have to change a storyline, but it wouldn't be impossible. I do like the idea of the party having to drag this 12 year old princess along wherever they go to keep her safe.Thanks for listening and thanks in advance for suggestions.--Scott</blockquote>
