[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 3341937, member: 39394"] You just gave me an awesome idea for dealing with that sort of thing, that I don't believe I've ever seen proposed before. Place a minimum level requirement on being raised from the dead. See, most people don't have strong enough spirits to survive being summoned back from the dead. Only truly 'great souls' (higher leveled people) can manage it. And the majority of people in D&D-land, even kings, never get high enough level to benefit from it. That means low level PCs can't be raised, but low level PCs are less likely to be raised anyway. I'd put the level cap at maybe 8th level or so. You could even make it graduated, so that you have to be 12th to be resurrected and 16th to be True Ressurected. Why wasn't Good King Graybeard raised? Because he was only 7th level. Or he was 10th level, and his head was cut off, making the body not intact. [/QUOTE]
