[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 5534950, member: 2303"] About what Tuft said; it was the Hangman's Noose scenario from Pazio and the Madge Blossomheart event. Other games have had other, more casual approaches to death and revival. Some snippets from our Dragonstar (think Star Wars + DnD) campaign. [list][*]There is a cult worshiping the "merchant" and they sell miracles. Their commercial attitude has of course influenced all other cults to be more commercial too, still not selling miracles to outsiders but instead offering discounts to members. [*]There is a meta magic feat that lets you cast spells over a telephone line. There are dial-up services you can call for spells. Need to buff up?; Just call 111-BUFF. Same goes for healing and raise dead. Great workplace insurance. [*]Speaking of insurance, you can bye resurrection insurance - if you fail to report in they will divine your status, and if you are dead you'll be remotely resurrected. All that is needed is a unique identifier, like the social security number. [*]Speaking of resurrection, we discussed paladins using kamikaze tactics. A high-level paladin spends his time kicking back in heaven, mostly. When needed, he is resurrected and given a kamikaze vehicle, which he can then use to devastating effect.[/list] Many of these things were based on local rules, of course. Feel free to check out [url=http://hastur.net/dragonstar/wiki/]]Dark Star[/url]. It was a few years back. [/QUOTE]
