[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8139755, member: 27385"] There has been some good articles over the years on bringing back the dead. I tend to have nobility have some sort of charter with the commoners that does not allow resurrection. There are lots of issues that come into play with succession of rule and titles. There is also problems with governing. Of course, the nobles try to get past this if able. Although there is always someone who is better off with that person staying dead. Some of the old articles talk about other things like inheritance and someone taking your magic sword while you are dead and if you can get it back once you come back to life. Some races live longer than others and an argument could be made that they could benefit more from a raise dead. Elves could live for a few hundred years longer than a human and they may view this longevity as more worthy. I tend to have the PCs be able to be raised. Sometimes there is a quest or deed, but mostly it becomes a burden in game to halt one player while he is dead. It mostly gets skimmed over if the PCs are enough level and have the components. In reality, peasants and everyone would follow clerics asking them to heal, raise, cure all sorts of ailments and diseases. Raising the dead husband farmer would be in line next to the leper and magistrate who has cancer. [/QUOTE]
