[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6701287, member: 6669384"] What's sad/funny in this case is that the PC had a way to return, with no level loss, and the player decided not to. There's a Druidic spell called [I]Last Breath[/I] that does a Reincarnate with no level loss. It has to be applied the round after the character died, and we were there that fast. But the old PC was an optimized tweak based on some racial abilities of an aquatic humanoid race from Stormwrack, and that race wasn't on the Reincarnate table. If she couldn't come back tweaked to the max then the player didn't want her to come back at all. Now, because the character chose not to return, our characters have no reason to seek out a Raise or Res' for her. ( So tempted to make a "Whine and Cheese" joke here. :) ) What will prove even more frustrating for the power gamer is that, because he buried us in loot during his (not short enough) tenure as DM, the following DMs are unlikely to give out much loot. We're over-geared as it is. So his effort to over gear his own PC while DMing now means that his character will not only be undergeared compared to the rest of the party, but will end up being undergeared by level as he advances.
