[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 5530322, member: 114"] More of a DM problem than a system problem IMO. Why does a DM put a temple in the middle of nowhere with a 9th level priest? Personally, as a DM I'd only have raise-dead capable people in a location which is likely to support them for some reason, and the price would not just be the cost of material components but plot points - a quest or some such favour required. Thus I wouldn't expect to see any danger of revolving door death syndrome before the time which a PC priest could cast raise dead anyway - and if it became a big issue then I'd change the rules in one way or another - for instance, in Eberron you can't raise dead anyone who has been dead more than about a week by ANY means, because their soul has migrated from the plane of Dolor to whereever souls go after that... and it is too late to resurrect them. Similarly one could rule that raise dead needs to take place in a properly consecrated temple, so that people can't just pop up to life after a fight. cheers [/QUOTE]
