[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6084909, member: 52734"] I don't know if they carried this over to 4E Dark Sun, but in the old rules dwarves had "life quests" and there were dire consequences to leaving one's life work unfinished. Perhaps the mystic calls on this mission to bring back life to the dwarf, but in doing so also ressurected the fallen warriors, whose mission becomes to win that war they lost so long ago against an enemy now long dead. Also, an evangion might have the ability to bring someone back - "we're off to see the Avangion of the fabled Green Mountain(s)." Another idea perhaps, rather than bring the character back directly, have you considered introducing the dwarf's kinsman, who for all intents and purposes undergoes a ritual to "become" the former dwarf and finish his kinsman's life quest. You could use the same stats (the ritual doing a psionic transferance into the deceased's body?) but could have a slightly different personality (and he has to attempt to mimick the fallen's personality for the completion of the life quest to work?). The latter would certainly bring an interesting wrinkle to dwarven society... [/QUOTE]
