And no, we don't use the ELH.The biggest limitation is the following:Ressurection, True Ressurection, Raise Dead, Reincarnation do not work upon those who have died of old age or do not wish to return.We expanded this to: "Whom the Gods have called home." Before each ressurection, the clergy often checks with thier Gods to see if the person died at the proper time.If they did.... Too bad.We also added a few mechanics for fun...Knowledge Religion Check DC for returning from the dead: Age+LevelOn a failed roll, one of the following occurs:It is only partially effective, resulting in the person becoming undead, and the Church of the God of Death dispatching Fists of the Dead to "relieve the person of the burden of thier unnatural existance"Chance for a powerful/minor outsider to inhabit the body: 10+Level+Level AdjustmentDamaged Body: Reroll all stats, as the chill of the grave, and the journey to beyond has effected thier mind and body.A penalty equal to level against necromatic magics.IN all cases, the returned has the option, at any time, to "chuff off the mortal coil" so to speak.All in all, the two biggest things are: Natural lifespan, and a desire to return. Since being a king isn't as fun as everyone thinks it was, and in a magical soceity, which is very complex, I think that the king might WANT to stay dead.</blockquote>
