[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6085566, member: 6674868"] As with all spell combos that can potentially do more then the individual spells were intended to do, It's up to the DM (in your case, DM's) on what to allow. Since you guys already have your death and returning from death mechanic in place, I'd not allow that combo to work, but I don't think that's what your asking. So, someone who's died, was heroically returned from death, had the gall to go ahead and die again? Ugh, no respect! j/k. Having the character become a Ghost with a debt to repay sounds like another great plot hook, sure. Mechanically, what would having that character as a ghost look like? I picture Roy Greenhilt from Order of the Stick and his Father, only being able to communicate thru their bloodline but being unable to interact directly upon the world. Maybe only the party members and other key, close individuals can interact with the ghost character, or providing very limiting ability to interact with the world. Then again, that might be a very unfulfilling way for a player to spend a hours of gametime. [/QUOTE]
