[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9323307, member: 18"] Why would you think I didn't know about Cleric spells when I've been running the game since 1989? Are you confusing me with someone because of my weird new avatar? Do I need to change back? It has literally nothing to do with what I'm saying. That you think it does is truly bizarre. If the character isn't dead/doesn't stay dead, the problem doesn't occur, does it? Think about it mate. This is why deaths are rarely as much of a problem past 5th, and tend to be more heroic and people more likely to be satisfied with them. The idea that it's not difficult to find an NPC to cast them is unsupportable though. There's nothing in RAW/RAI to support that - it's entirely DM-dependent. Some DMs will basically run a guy out to you to res someone. Others will insist the nearest guy is an unreasonable distance away and then have him try to charge you more money than the whole of the party has. Others still will just say no. The sort of DMs who select for death-loving players (thanatics?) are generally in the last category. Delicious in Dungeon has an interesting approach where there roving bands of miscreants who res you and then charge you money (I feel like there is something culturally Japanese in the idea that they'd do this rather than just rob your corpse but perhaps that's just me).
