[QUOTE="Prophet2b, post: 3073059, member: 36476"] In an upcoming campaign, there will actually be no Raise Dead spell, and [i]possibly[/i] no resurrection spell*. I know it's just a game, but in no fantasy story is death treated as "nicely" as it is in D&D. People who can bring the dead back to life are the most powerful in the lands, if they exist at all. The Raise Dead spell just feels like too much of a video game, too. "Shoot, I died, now I have to be reset at the save point and play through [i]everything[/i] again just to get that experience back." I'm also going to work on the reincarnation spell (just haven't gotten around to it, yet), so that there will be levels of reincarnate. One level will be simple animals, next will be a mix of animals and humanoids, and the next most powerful level will be just humanoids. Coming back from the dead ought to be something [i]special[/i], I think. * There will be True Resurrection. If you come back, you come back whole and without penalty - but that takes powerful magic.
