In the case of the wealthy, the people who would gain custody of such wealth might be less inclined to bring back the person who died. For example: if Lord Acton just died and left his wealth to his nephew, why would his nephew (unless he's unbelieveably loyal) think to raise his uncle and possibly give up his new found wealth?  There are about a million ways to make resurrection magic work in a fantasy world. If it's not your thing, I get that, but it can work where it doesn't seem like a revolving door of rich dead (oh no! wait he's not type folks) . I see your point here, but once again the devil is in the details. There are simple ways to thwart the use of a raise dead spell being used on a subject. A magical poison that would raise the victim as an undead is one way to do the trick and I'm sure any DM or PC familiar with the system can come up with much more. All I'm saying is that there are ways within the parameters of each person's individual game to make it work. Or you can just get rid of it altogether.</blockquote>
