[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8269174, member: 53980"] Yeah, that's reasonable. We ended up using something similar even after we decided that the Con loss was too harsh in 3e. For quite some time we had a rule that the maximum number of times you could be brought back was equal to your starting Constitution. We ended up getting rid of that rule, however, simply because no one ever died frequently enough for it to be relevant. In our campaigns since 3.x, resurrection has usually been limited by the setting. You can technically get resurrected as many times as you want, but it's oftentimes very difficult to find someone who can provide the service. Even if there's someone in the party who can cast the spell, there's no guarantee that anyone will have 100s or 1000s of go worth of diamonds just laying around, particularly that they're willing to part with (as this may be an insurance policy in case they or a loved one die).
