[QUOTE="Rzach, post: 4119335, member: 61385"] What I really like about the Raise Dead issue is how it allows me to create an adventure or entire campaign out of returning a person to life. This idea keeps running around my head so I thought I would share it. Say a king is killed. He is in the prime of his life and well loved by the people. He can't be raised though because he has no destiny. Well the characters could change that. Adventure to the outer planes and find a god of fate (or any similar deus ex machina). The deity forces them to complete a task for him if they want the Kings fate to be changed. When they succeed they can raise the King. Now he even has a destiny to fulfill. Yes, I realize I could have done this in 3e or any other rpg. But now the rules give me a reason to do so. No more hearing players ask why their divine magic doesn't work in this situation. Now it is simple the King has no destiny unless the players can change his fate. In my opinion this is a good improvement for the system. Later, Rzach [/QUOTE]
