[QUOTE="jasper, post: 7289571, member: 277"] In 1e and 2e getting to 9th level and thus having access to Raise Dead in the field was a big deal.... Not really. How many modules had handy clerics which could have Raise Dead in their slots. And the scrolls of Raise Dead. And the wacky Rod of Resurrection. Let see Bob pc is an elf so that 4 charge, a fighter that is 2 charges. Bob whining but I start out as human till the druid raised me as elf.... In my xp it was around 8 to 9 months of play when people started hitting 9th. Of course I did some or all of the following xp for not killing monsters, gp to xp, role playing xp, module finished xp, and occasionally Bob just go up a level. I could back then roll up and kit out a 9th cleric in 5 minutes, and a fighter in 3. Of those were cookie cutter clones characters. So the argument of the boils down to 2 extremes. 1. Jasper should not die because of story reasons. AKA He a star of the show. See Dallas and JR 2. Death is always on the line. AKA. Jasper has asked for more money so he will NOT be returning next season. See STNG Tasha Yar. or various other shows. [/QUOTE]
