Grant was a chosen of mystra so he should have been raiseable, but he was soul traped, Ta'horn was a barbarian (2e complete book of) that always refused healing, and Vash at 22nd level 2e we had no way to raise...(3.5)I lost Kazar Free when I knew I was going to die I tried to tank the lich a round or two knowing the cleric could raise dead... then I got hit with disintegrate...no body.As a DM(2e) My first D&D game had me give out a set of scrolls of raise dead at some really low level 'just in case' but then they used all three on NPCs, and the very next game session the 11th level cleric got killed.(2e) A very tragic one... the player started as a human wizard level 1, around level 4 or 5 the party fighter died, and the player decided his character 'found god' and used his super human charisma to become a paladin. He then played 15 levels of said paladin.  In a random encounter with a hydra he got killed. The problem was our PC healer was an elf druid/ranger... he didn't even have enough druid levels to reincarnate him.(3e) I had a player walk out and never come back because his PC died and I wouldn't hand wave a resserction... it was a plan hoping game and the PCs were stuck in darksun. He died at level 19, and there was no way to bring him back.(3.5) I almost TPKed my whole party in raven loft. the PCs were 14ish level and of the 7 PCs and 2 cohorts that went into the adventure, 3 PCs and 1 cohort (not even one of those PCs) survivied, and had no way to raise there players(4e) maybe this one shouldn't be on the list, but... A PC worshiped the raven queen, and at epic levels was sent on a quest to find a crystal neckless she wore in life. Another PC had a habit of throwing everything he found into a pouch of platnume (4e magic item) and did so with the neckless without thinking. He was cursed by the goddess and when he next died he didn't come back...and nothing ever could.(4e) same player different campaign was playing a ranger who liked to scout... at like level 13 or so he went out to scout and died... the PCs didn't have enough gold to raise him, so he stayed dead.</blockquote>
