[QUOTE="senodam, post: 3370704, member: 11156"] [Nitpick] That's Shatter Soul you're thinking of isn't it? [/Nitpick]. Sorry 'bout that. Anyhoo, death has never been a minor inconvenience in my games, and I wonder how many people play up the consequences of ressurection in games? Fr'ex, in my Age of Worms campaign, one PC has been raised twice.
