Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Gasik" data-source="post: 9472659" data-attributes="member: 6877472">One thing about this limitation that never sat well for me was the resurrection survival chance.  Since your odds of actually being brought back are reduced every time the spell is cast (successful or not!), saying "I have 14 Con, I can be brought back from the dead 14 times!" is far from true.It's more like "I have 14 chances to come back, but in reality, it's going to be far less than that."Not that, again, I've ever seen that in action.  I do have a friend who had a character who was reincarnated twice, but I can't think of any other character who died more than once in any D&D game I've been involved in (outside of computer games, that is).This may have more to do with the fact that I have few experiences with high level play.  In most games, by the time you get around "name level", the DM burns out and "wants to take a break" and you never get back to that game, lol.Even with the two AD&D characters I had that hit the big time, one became a god (and I retired them quickly because I found the idea of a god adventuring kind of ludicrous- and yes, I know BECMI has adventures for that sort of thing, but still, lol) and the other's level basically no longer matters because they also no longer "adventure" because the game has shifted into a political arena where roleplaying and cool ideas are vastly more important than having a Thac0 of -7.Well, I did have a level 22 4e character, but that's like level 11 in AD&D (not in power, but in time invested).</blockquote>
