[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3364137, member: 22779"] However, the problem with all that is so few people actually ever played that way. Polls here have shown that almost no DM's actually forced a new PC to come back at 1st level. Mostly because that PC would be entirely dead weight for a long time (based on how long it takes to level in some people's campaigns) and no fun for the player. Besides that, earlier edition raise dead was no more difficult to get than now. Walk into any town, pay your 50k gp (easily gotten if you played modules) and poof, rez'd. Trying to say that it was harder back then is simply not true. Both the 1e and 2e DMG's gave a market price for Raise Dead. It was no more difficult or easy then than it is now. And, if the DM was going to force me to play a 1st level character with a 8th level party, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to get my PC raised. [/QUOTE]
