[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5578409, member: 64209"] In my last homebrew there three very important towns on the barrier between the prime material and the hells. Players and npcs were regularly resurrected. The big reveal was.... ....each ressurection splintered a piece of soul off of the individual, forming a fiend in the alternate plane....get rezzed 12 times and there are 12 fiends of about your power, and [U]they know who you are[/U]. That was a surprise, and a meaningful one, but it was story driven as well as mechanics defined (but without penalizing characters specifically for a "twist" in the gaming world). By that I mean, they were going to be fighting some bad guys, but what they did at earlier levels (whether they knew it or not) defined exactly which guys they'd be fighting at later levels. The players ate it up in an "oh crap, what have we done, but 'cool twist' sort of way". [/QUOTE]
