Last night I decided to house rule that Raise Dead could raise the victim of death magic. A 13th level party member failed his save against a 9th level revenant cleric's Slay Living spell. Previously a cohort got slain by a bodak, but the party's 9th level cleric couldn't raise her because of the rule.
The limitation is disrupting my game. I don't understand why it takes a 13th level cleric to undo the power of a 9th level cleric or CR 8 bodak.
Does anyone know the rationale behind the Death Magic limitation of the Raise Dead spell?
