But no matter what I say, you refuse to acknowledge the valid points of precadence I made, nor the fact that I have answered the questions asked of me. Your only argument appears to be, "That doesn't count! That doesn't count! And no, that doesn't count, either!" You split hairs, softshoe, redefine at whim and ignore valid points simply because they disagree with your concept of mythology.I agree to disagree with you. Resurrection and the rebirth of the soul have imaginative precadent throughout myth, legend and fantasy literature. D&D is not outside the pale, sorry, and you can't blow enough ink in the water to obscure that fact.My way? This has nothing to do with MY way. We're talking about three editions of D&D, now. This isn't MY way. This is Stephen Brust's way. This is D&D's way. This is something that has been used to fantasy, myth and legend down through time to tell stories. I've pulled numerous examples already, and where I list a dozen, you want to quibble about the one you think doesn't count.Well, go on and do that with your badass self, because right now we're on a train to Brokenrecordsville. If I'm faced with one more repitious post, I'm bailing for greener pastures, my friend.Oh no! I fell straight into your trap!In your opinion.And since when have you played in almost every campaign? I've certainly never seen you sitting in MY games or any of the cons where I've gamed, or pickup games.It's a divine spell granted by the gods. Powerful (level 9+) servants of the gods gain access to it. It fits in line with all sorts of precadence in Norse, Egyptian, Hindu (for Reincarnation) and Judeo-Christian themes on the matter. And you're just flat-out wrong about Christianity. There is a miracle attributed in Acts 20:7-12 where Paul raises a boy who was killed falling out of a window. Peter raises Dorcas in Acts 9:36-43. I could sift through the history of the saints in both Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions, but why bother? The examples are there. The fact that you don't know them, and refuse to acknowledge them, isn't anything I can change.In your opinion. Not in mine, and not in the minds of those who disagree with you. And we have ample and valid reasons for believing so.</blockquote>
