[QUOTE="Janx, post: 1994058, member: 8835"] At least there's a few posts in here that get the point. It is NOT the DM's business on how the party spends its resources. Meaning: The party has 2 dead people The DM gave the party 1 Ressurection and 1 Reincarnation to use The party decides how to use it, not the DM For the rest of you, I wouldn't judge how the other player is reacting, given that the DM in question disagrees with him and is presenting the story to us. That's not an impartial tale. What we do know, from the DM, is that he wants the party to use the spells in a certain way. And that's fine for him to want that, but he doesn't get to choose it, unless he has another NPC run in, and cast the spells in the manner he wants them. And that would seem to be an illogical act in the game. Now on the note of "roleplayers spoiling other people's fun" I think there's a line. Not differentiating between PC and NPC is generally good playing. Making a PC that's a jerk and tries to screw the other players is bad playing. As pointed out by a few others, dead people got no rights. They're dead. They don't get to vote. If the story supports it they might be brought back. Otherwise, the default assumption by any player should be "time to roll up another." Janx [/QUOTE]
