I'm having lots of problems to design a plotline where a powerful, good aligned, NPC wizard is killed.
The problem is not how to kill him (a good poison, and a bit of link) but how to keep him dead!
If he's known to be good and wealthy when he'll die probably some good-aligned cleric would simply bring him back to life. And this ruins the plotline, as I want him to be permanently dead !
Anybody has some house rules/ideas to make death really permanent ?
It is absolutely stupid to need to kill someone level + constitution times in order to have him really dead.
I was considering to simply reduce the power of resurrecting spells (removing everything except reincarnation (druid, moved to lvl 7) and otherwise allow resurrection only through wish/miracle)
(and while there might be many 9th level casters there are very, very few 17th level casters in my world)
Anybody has some suggestion ?
