Re: alter the spell...

perhaps, instead of simply *poof*, the character is alive, set it up such that the spell opens a portal to the City of Bones. The PCs must go in and find the soul, then get back to the portal before it closes, all the while dodging the bad things that can smell the blood of the living...

That's a good idea. Any ideas on how to integrate this sort of cosmological factor into a game that doesn't already have it?

Psion -

Honestly, as a hardcore DM, I agree (hence the Twin Crowns world having 5, only 5, no matter what), but my players, who have gone this far, would think I've becoming unreasonably harsh.

At 18th level, 2-3 resurrections isn't that many, though... it's par for the course. One failed save means death, and you fail 5% of all saves no matter what. With an 18th level cleric in the party, there's really no way to stop it without an artificial layer of DM intervention.
