[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3339284, member: 10177"] In my games it is present exactly how much I want it to be. I also frequently have Reincarnation used, too. Other DM's don't have it available readily enough. It seems like running a fantasy game is ruined by allowing people be brought back to life. I say having a character the player likes die permanently sucks, and ruins the fun of the game far more. Then the there is the player who likes the fact that the character died, so they can try out a new one they have been itching to try. If a DM doesn't went an endless cycly of being raised dead use a rule from the older editions. You can only be raised a number of times equal to your starting constitution score. Or my house rule version, number of raises is equal to 1/2 your starting CON score. How do I justify this rule? One, because I am the DM and I want it. Two, gods in my campaign world have real power, so its obvious that they had a huge organizational meeting and decided they would enforce this "Raise Limit", and also set some rules for their Poker games while they were at it. So no matter how high your CON gets, if you start with a 12 CON you can only be Raised 6 times in my games. Then Reincarnation is your only option. [/QUOTE]
