If raise dead is no big deal, the game is less challenging, and less enjoyable (for some folks, like me). I like injuries in the game, provided they are not toooo permanent or there is a path I can work towards removing it. It is a mark that my PC just made it through some horrible scrape! Eg; say your PC loses a leg beneath the knee - no worries, peg leg, movement penalty, maybe dex penalties for some things - cool beans, keep on adventuring man till you get hold of a regenerate spell a few levels later. Or lose an eye? Ok, maybe 33% miss chance till you train to fight with only one eye next downtime (maybe disad on some perception checks is permanent, or until eye restored via magic, possibly quite a few levels later, or by quest, or whatever). I genuinely prefer these injuries/setbacks in the game - to mark coming back from the dead, certainly - than no lasting penalty. With no lasting penalty, it all seems, I dunno, too easy. Your guy died. No worries he's back tomorrow good as gold.... yeah, not my cup of gritty adventuring tea.</blockquote>
