Why no life extending magic???

Well in D&D 3e, you have the option to answer the call to a new lease in life once you are dead...I would guess most who are happy in their heaven would not want to be brought back to life and can not be forced to.

You are very correct.
Here is a question then.

Are there any DMs out there twisted enuff to to tell players they can't come back to life when the spell is cast because the character doesn't want to come back?
A random table maybe?

BTW Anyone read the "Queen of the Demon Web Pits" novel?
The part where they go smashing into that plane kinda reminded me of this kind of situation.
Where someone doesn't know if they want to come back.
