[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 1996526, member: 3987"] Sorry but why does this effect you as the DM? It's not your character that's dead. Surely this is an issue between one player who's character would logically prefer the NPC who he is more attacted to resurrected. And another player who character is dead and would probably (although we don't actually know his opinion) what his character resurrected. Why does this effect you at all? Is an NPC cleric in charge of that scroll? If so its the clerics opinion that matters more than any of the players, your first opportunity to use Roleplay to influence the result towards resurrecting the PC. If not I take it the party cleric is casting the spell, so surely his opinion matters more than either player, and arn't they (either cleric) likely to pick whichever dead character is more closely aligned with their deities wishes? Perhaps the cleric, if in doubt should cast an "Augury" to discover which his god would prefer to see raised, another roleplay opportunity to influence the result in favour of the PC. There are plenty of opportunities to come up with a roleplaying solution that will keep both players happy. [/QUOTE]
