Message: <blockquote data-quote="rkanodia" data-source="post: 1761513" data-attributes="member: 11681">Eberron isn't supposed to be big on raise dead and similar magic.  There are a lot of factors that contribute to this:-Eberron tends to be lower-level than other campaigns; there just aren't a whole lot of people who can run around raising people.  -There cultural taboos about messing with life and death in most regions.-The services of clerics are not availible to the general public at any price, only devout members of the same faith.-House Jorasco is the only institution that offers raising services (via altar of ressurection, and they will charge a bare minimum of 10,600 gp for it (10k for the material component, +600 gp for the services of a greater dragonmarked House member, with a surcharge probably added for the expense of building/maintaining the altar)-There's a limited window of time for raising the dead, because souls that lose their memories to Dolurrh can only be brought back by wish or miracle.  Even a character with a +10 Will save has more than half a chance to be lost after just three days.Taken together, I think these make murder mysteries quite plausible in Eberron.  In order to be raised, the victim will have to have friends who will locate their corpse, transport them to a major city (for altar of ressurection) or a headquarters of their faith (for raise dead), and raise thousands of gp in very short order.  I'd say that most people who aren't at least level 10, or baron-level nobles, can pretty much expect to stay dead, and even a king won't have too much confidence in his chances of making it back from the afterlife unless his body is quickly found - and that's assuming he wants to be raised, which many people in Eberron prefer not to.</blockquote>
