[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 2998939, member: 28105"] Funny, I don't remember a time when the boards at Wizards were without complaints or rants or criticism of other cliques, or whatever else you can think of. :p That aside. This sums up my opinion as a freeform combat enthusiast quite well, in all honesty. There are enough methods to avoid a totally unintended character death that there's little reason for insta-ressurection to be an issue. Talk to the other party in a duel, and I'd wager 9 out of 10 times an agreement can be reached to conveniently arrange for the survival of both parties without unpleasant end results (outside interference from either side, a desperation attack that drives off the assailant for their own self-preservation, etc). It's amazing how much out of character conflict can be avoided if people just talk to each other for 30 seconds when their characters cross paths. ;) And just because I'm obsessive-compulsive about these things, a brief lapse into d20 writer mode: This is absolutely correct. As native outsiders, much like planetouched and half-outsiders, characters who have attained transcendance through any class to obtain the Outsider creature type may be raised or ressurected normally. :) [/QUOTE]
