Dragon 368 - Death Matters, Design & Developments

[Hellcow]

Well, other than the quoted person said that it wasn't ever in there.

The specific word "destiny" wasn't in there. The concept that raise dead was a ritual that wouldn't work on most people - and was essentially at DM discretion - was. I understand the reasons for changing it, but I still keep it that way in my campaigns.

Nonetheless, the point is correct: I am not one of the designers of 4E, and was not involved in either decision. This is not something that any WotC designer ever promised or promoted, simply something a playtester liked that was changed.

Well, it IS a thread about death - necromancy seemed like the appropriate response.
