Tell him that he deserves his current state but that it will go away as soon as you say so. There is nothing he can do to change it or speed things up.1. Tell him that he cannot provoke milesstones by attacking random people and that in his weakened state he should be careful whom he challenges. Hint at the authorities looking troublemakers who have been resurrected recently and now (in vain) try to provoke milestones.2. If that does not work, tell him that the -1 makes no difference. Ridicule the overall effectiveness of his character in front of the group. Remind him of the pitiful way his pathetic character died. Question the ancestry of the character and suggest he might be better off with a new one. Repeat every time he raises the issue again.3. State how annoyed you are by these discussions and how unrealistic you think Raise Dead is. Think out aloud how much easier things would be without this ritual.Is that evil? Yes, but that is why you are the DM. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> (Or was that the other game... Paranoia?)</blockquote>
