[QUOTE="Furtive Noise, post: 1539424, member: 273"] In regards to royalty and assasination, some kingdoms in my world have ancient edicts that prevent kings from being raised. Anyone who has ever been raised is also ineligible to rule these lands; the reason behind this being that some very few people come back from the dead slightly different or changed and no one wants the risk of such a person as a ruler. Legends tell of a ruler who once was raised, but was actually an extraplanar creature that inhabited the king's body and wreaked all sorts of havoc. So this makes the threat of assasination still there without resorting to ultra rare epic means. Of course, some rulers may try to spurn the old laws and make plans to be raised before anyone finds out they were ever dead. This means many assasinations take place in very public places, and more paranoid rulers are loathe to leave the safety of their castles. Just some ideas that keep such things interesting. [/QUOTE]
