If so, then explain why a person raised from the dead has -4 on all attack rolls, saves, and ability checks for a whole day.This is similar: isn't it natural that you gasping for breath an round or two if you wake up from dying?Others think that the incapacitation save should be a CON save, but I think it still has with death to do and thus is beyond the characters abilities.Otherwise I think the biggest problem is the death threshold.In ODD74 and BDnD you died at 0 hp.In ADnD you died at 0 hp, with an optional rule of dying at -3.In ADnD2E you died at 0 hp, with an optional rule of dying at -10.In DnD3E you died at -10.In DnD4 and 5 you die at minus your maximum hp.Simply change the rule: you die if the remaining hp is max hp at level 1 + level.Example: a level 1 fighter with CON 14 dies at HD + CON + level = 10 + 2 + 1 = 13 hp, and when he gain a level it's 14 hp, etc.</blockquote>
