[QUOTE="Heathen72, post: 3106849, member: 7029"] Re: the Original Post: I think it's something that you should talk with your GM about so that you can determine the culture in the lands with regards to ressurection, as a way of putting your characters choice into context. Perhaps in a world where 'raise dead' is used it might be highly offensive to refuse it? Not likely, maybe but possible, and how would your character's family feel about your denying them the chance to 'see the colour in your eyes?' And does your character have any debts, financial or otherwise? Also, while I very much respect your character concept, and the importance of staying true to it, is it possible that you are being a little difficult? Could it be that you are using your character as a mouthpiece to express your own prejudices about having raise dead in games, and if so, is it fair to the rest of the playing group that you do do so? Finally, have you considered other ways of expressing your characters reservations about being raised without rolling up a new character (and potentially de-railing some of your GM's plots?). We all have principles, but they can be sorely tested when our lives are on the line. Could your character chicken out? [SIZE=1] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Edit: I didn't vote on the poll, but my answer is, Yes, as long as it is a rare occurence, and there is an impact on the character, the caster, and the campaign...[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
