[QUOTE="Utrecht, post: 751761, member: 1411"] Now, that is interesting - the monopolization of diamonds in case of raise dead. I had not really taken that into account. However, it must still be realized that all (ha ha) raise dead does is returns life to a lifeless body. It does not confir youth It does not cure disease It does not remove poison So the stockpiling of 500gp diamonds only makes sense for those who are in dangerous professions like gladiators, etc. But it would not make sense for say 80 year old Merchant princes - sure they can raise you, but that heart is going to stop quick enough. Therefore, I see this as a minor problem - but one that could affect the commodety price of diamonds - especially if suddenly there was another buyer (the PCs) who force an inflationary price war. Again, I have only focused on the economic side of things - there is still the social, theological and cultural aspects (as mentioned above by other posters) that could be even more significant deterrents to raising.
