Raise Dead, Resurrection and True Resurrection all give an XP hit, but the hit is less severe. True Resurrection is most useful because it can restore a person's body once it has been destroyed.I don't mind Raise Dead because without it, if you run a high mortality or gritty campaign, players because less interested in developing their characters. It's hard to care when you're thrown into the meatgrinder whether your piece of paper is named Sausage, Pepperbits, or Baconflavor.For all the folks who said that these spells make coming back from the dead less meaningful, I say horse puckey. One of my characters in a campaign I ran was raised from the dead, and all of my players remember the ceremony. It was just Raise Dead with some trappings on it. If bringing characters back from the dead feels like a video game, that's the DM's fault, not the game.</blockquote>
