[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9064681, member: 7024481"] Honestly I hate the way ressurection and Reincarnation are done in the books. Do what I do. Ressurections have to come directly from your god or a direct servant of the god in the appropriate outer plain ( unless some cleric already negotiated it for an item). Anytime one is requested cleric has to negotiate directly with the god or power who is granting it. let the cost come from the negotiation. If it's a True Ressurection then it's a direct negotiation with the GOD. Now in my world each True god (greater) has thier own area of total control. So if someone needs to be ressurected, unless you worship the god of death, then your god is going to have to negotiate the ressurection with that god so you can imagine how rare they are. There is a loophole in the laws of death and a god can "swap" souls from the realm of the dead with a living one but that means someone has to willingly pass on at the same time you are ressurecting your PC. If it's a heroic save the world thing some cleric might willingly negotiate or make that sacrifice. They can probably find a true believer that is ready to go to heaven. But if a rich king or party of adventurer's want such a thing then it get's harder. Reincarnation on the other hand can be done by spell or ritual. It was made for those who have spirits who are connected to the natural world. Elves, fey, nature spirits, gnomes etc. If you are Reincarnated your soul is merged with the natural world and you can't be ressurected ever again. In fact in my world you won't come back as a human, orc, dwarf, halfling or any other creature tied to the river of souls that takes you to the afterlife. You'll become part of the Natural world and never go on to the halls of your ancestors. Reincarnating someone without thier permission could piss off any God that character was or is tied to or the god of death and create a personal crisis for those involved. That's the way I deal with powerful magic. Go ahead change the world with a wish a minor change that doesn't affect anyone but you no problem. Some change that interferes with some power's portfolio they are responsible for? get ready for the consequences. [/QUOTE]
