[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3346421, member: 10177"] All that is being proven, once again, for the Nth time, is that we are DM's because we get to run the game the way we like to. If you don't like ress and raise spells and you play in my games, then let your PC stay dead. If the players sitting next to you wants his character be raised/ressed then you better shut up and not harass him because he is not playing the game your "right way". Me? I'm there to run a challenging and hopefully fun game. The only players I don't like are the ones who handle their characters dying badly. Other than that I let the players play however they like within the rule books I choose to use for my campaign. That includes Raise and Ress spells. I also allow for stats to be raised during "down time" by training/study. Plus additional skills. Players can use or ignore my house rules as they wish, to play how they like. Just don't expect everyone at the table to play the same way you do. So as long as you can stand my style of game, deadly, challenging, heroic, to where you will feel the thrill of saving the poor from starvation and the cold all the way up to slaying the mighty dragon, we'll have a good time. If you can't handle my generous rules and availability of Raise and Ress spells there are plenty of other DM's who will give you the game you want better than I will. I would rather people be willing to play in my game and let us try to strike a balance between all of our play styles, but I know that is not always possible, just the ideal. So as always, we'll DM the way we do, have the players we have, or don't. The game will still go on. Somewhere. [/QUOTE]
