[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 6350979, member: 11760"] I don't know about that. If I'm a first level adventurer -- or a zero level nobody -- I likely don't know anyone who's been resurrected. I know stories and rumors and what the local cleric is claiming is the truth -- which may conflict with the cleric at the temple in the next village is saying. Is there [i]something[/i] after death? Well, sure -- there's enough stories about the undead to prove that. Should I automatically sign up with whatever the local cleric is pushing? Probably not, especially if he's never seen someone raised from the dead himself and admits, under questioning, that he's not capable of doing so when asked. And if he says "yes, but you need to pony up this expensive material component," that may well have the opposite effect for me: A "god" that has to be bribed with more money than most entire communities possess to resurrect someone, yet is said to be a god of good is likely one with more than a few skeptics.
