[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4575012, member: 710"] What action? The action of sitting around and wait for someone to require a Raise Dead ritual? Sure, they can do that. But then they wouldn't run around adventuring. Some things can't be done by travelling the countryside and rescuing damsels in distress, exploring dungeons and killing people and take their stuff. "Hey, cool, this NPC has a hot wife and a family with 3 kids! How can I have that, too?" "Simple. Stop adventuring, find a job, find a woman you love, and make some babies!" "Sounds good. But wait, stop adventuring? I like adventuring!" "You can't have both!" "Bah. That's unfair!" "Yes. So what?" And that's only something you might be able to do with enough "willpower" to see it through. Then there are things for that some people have a talent and can just do. You can achieve the same only through rigorous training. (Like, gaining level 6 or 8 to cast Raise Dead). And some things you will never get, no matter how hard you train. I will never be as good as a driver as Micheal Schumacher. I will never beat Kasparov or Deep Blue in a chess duel. I won't be able to dance on the ice as Kati Witt did. Some of this is because the other has a talent. Some of this is because I am particularly.... ungifted. Some of this is just because they started training at the right time, and I am simply too late.
