[QUOTE="Dracomeander, post: 3108940, member: 20009"] The poll just doesn't have the options needed for my vote to apply. It really depends on the character and campaign specifics. I've had some characters raised or resurrected in one circumstance refuse to come back in another circumstance. The problem wasn't financial - the characters in question could afford and were offered True Resurrection. It was that the characters decided that it was time to join their patron in the outer realms and leave the mortal coil behind. I realize this can sometimes disrupt campaign plots and make more work for the DM, but that is when the player and the DM need to communicate to make the transition less disruptful. One the characters mentioned above was a cleric of Selune in a FR campaign with the Moon domain. The current situation was dealing with an uprising of the People of the Black Blood - a lycanthropic organization - when the character died again and chose to stay dead. Obviously, having access to the Moon Domain would have made the rest of the adventure easier, but the old character had adventured from 1st level up to 14th level without ever dying. Then he died and was resurrected three times in one adventure when they were in an alternate material plane cut off from Selune. When he died in the first combat of the adventure back in the Realms, he chose to stay dead so that he could continue to serve Selune since it was obvious that his time as an adventurer was past.
