[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 3902502, member: 29252"] Yeah, his first purchase needs to be for an adamantine Greataxe or similar for use in cutting it up into little chunks. Or he just needs to cast Fabricate to turn iron plate to iron ignots..... However he chooses to run it, it's not all that hard for the Wizard that can cast Wall of Iron in the first place. ... you mean like basically every PC over level 9? While the cost is used to determine the threshold, it's not actually a factor on whether or not it's available. Plus there's a secondary reason why someone might not be Raised - it's 5,000 gp for the basic Raise Dead in materials alone... and the heirs want to inherit, and there's all sorts of projects that 5,000 gp in diamonds could fund ... and someone other than the dead guy has control over the funds. Besides - if it really worked the way you think, the very powerful wouldn't die off of old age, either - Reincarnate returns you to a young adult body. Hence the part about Animating the body. Check the text of True Resurrection - the undead creature has to be destroyed before the living person it once was can be revived. Eh, basic drift. [/QUOTE]
