When I was originally working on this, it was an essay about why resurrection on my home brewed world is rare. I got to thinking, what happens if I need to determine whether some NPC king or another can be brought back to life. Of course I'll rely on DM fiat when its important, but in some cases the DM might want a method to determine the success of a resurrection. In those instances it would be nice to have at least some idea how hard it is to resurect someone.Here's the rule, in a nutshell:<nutshell>Whenever attempting to raise someone from the dead, the spellcaster must make a special "resurrection check." This check is 1d20 + relevant abililty modifier + level of the spell being cast.The DC for this check is 30.Here are some modifiers:+4 DC if the target is old+6 DC if the target is venerableIf the caster is a cleric of the god of death, he or she may add +1 to the roll for every 5 levels of cleric.</nutshell>What think you? To hard? To easy? Bear in mind that this is meant to be simple and quick, and it only applies when the subject of the resurrection spell is an NPC.</blockquote>
