But that's not the point - how many diamonds are available? Are they even available in the region? Even if you have a supplier, how many do they have in stock?  Diamonds are common (and expensive) now because of advertising and modern cutting techniques, they were not widely used in medieval Europe for example [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_jewelry" target="_blank">1</a>].  House rules are part of the game and making it fit what you and your players want.  In any case, IMHO it's just one option of many.I admit it's been too long since I played 1E to remember how common raise dead was.  We may have "cheated" if it ever came up.I do remember my half elf getting an offer of reincarnate in 2E at 2nd or 3rd level.  The ease of being brought back from the dead was one of the reasons I instituted my house rule of what happens to your spirit after you die.So I will correct my statement.  At higher levels it hasn't been an issue for several editions unless you're still playing that 70s version of the game.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
