[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3694801, member: 22779"] Part of the problem, I think is that people tend to think that Raise dead and the like is easy. It's not. Raise dead requires you to have a fairly whole body. There's just all sorts of death out there that negates Raise Dead. The higher level spells require access to high level clerics who may or may not grant the spell to the party. It's a built in role playing opportunity that's being swept away. As far as the whole plotsy end of things, again there's a million and one ways to make sure something stays dead. Flesh to Stone is a much better assassins weapon than a dagger against the rich and powerful. As is feeding the victim to various demon or devil lords. When you're rich and powerful, you get to afford a whole new league of enemies who are also rich and powerful and have access to the same things you have. I see it as a lack of imagination when people complain that Raise Dead means you can't run assassination scenarios. Hrm, Stone to Flesh and a Bag of Holding. You can never find the body and you cannot True Res it. End of story. [/QUOTE]
