[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6485578, member: 12630"] You make a big assumption with the availability of raise dead. In most campaigns, not every Tom, Richard, or Harry is an adventurer walking around with resources and power for a raise dead. In many campaigns the characters are the .001% whereas everyone else is dead once their dead. Healing can bring someone back who is seriously wounded, but once your dead, your dead. Best way to ensure they're dead, stick something in them. In a campaign where raise dead is commonly available to the point that goblins and gnolls expect it, I'd still have them do that. Why? Because they know that even if they loose, these people can't have unlimited money or enough resources to keep doing it all day. So everyone they finish off means buys the rest of the clan that much more time while the people retreat to raise their dead or eventually they run out of many and stop bothering you because they know it's not worth it.
