I am just whining because of the 2 lvl 4's and my favorite lvl 3 Fire specialist that have recently fallen...

High SP cost and have it split from the healing line - could make it limited time to res after death, and have it function like the equip action. Would also want it to be something you would need to weigh the cost/benefit of, as "specialising" in this aspect could limit other spell options/abilities.
Adding it, or something like it, for necros would be kind of cool also, or maybe a "reanimate dead" spell.
Know this is an older post, but I kind of liked this idea. |

I'm not entirely opposed to this, although its so rare to see a level 10+ character die anyway, I fear that it might be plain impossible under the current rules if any type of resurrection were available (after all .. a level 10 party would surely have the option if it existed). I could see (as you suggest) creating a hybrid "spirit magic" school or something that had prerequisites of high levels in both necromancy and life. Or alternatively, make it akin to summoning or resistance spells, where its simply a high (1000sp?) point life spell but one that uses the lower of your life/necro skill levels.
Either way, I agree that it would definately need to be cast within a few rounds of the death occuring. As you say, that would require players to carefully consider whether they wanted to spend the skills (and save the SP) on the off-chance you needed it.

It should be extremely costing/taxing on the priest casting it possibilties include..large fatigue...permanent loss of HP/HPs or aging (life energy used to reignite dead characters life?)...only certain alignments or later certain religions could cast it... special quest/adventure (like old lairs) needs to be done before possiblity to cast as a god has to grant priest ability to resurrect... |
6/1/2011 11:22:20 AM | i would still pay $1/lvl to resurrect |
11/19/2011 1:00:53 PM | yup, would still pay to resurrect... |

11/20/2011 9:42:01 AM | ive discussed this several times with Legion and there would be severe penalities and huge cost IF it was ever added to the game. The loss of 1 to each attribute and random loss of skills among the penalties... |
5/12/2012 10:13:29 PM | still willing to pay... |

5/13/2012 5:53:49 AM | for some charcters so would i if they died...even if they lost all equipment, 1 to each attribute and 1 of each skill. but hes very adament to not letting game get out of hand to people willing to pay for more as each consession can lead to another and so on as we have seen in 'other' games. the one time he seemed ok with the idea was if a charcter had life magic 10 and necromancy 10 and a new category resurrection 5 and even then would be a % based similar to weapon repairs with crafting and charcter level...making it very hard to reach and even do... :/ |

First would be if you spent x to raise them, then they got killed right away, the first thing alot of people would say is the game was rigged to kill them so they had to donate again. This is a very compelling reason not to even allow it. Wouldnt suprise me if a lawsuit or two could stem from this. Another reason is the game would get the rep of if you have money, then you can do what you want. If everyone loses characters with no chance to revive, then it keeps its rep as being even for all. Even witht he 10 life magic/10 necromancy, it still leads to uneven abilities, since someone with a membership is more likely to gain those levels with the double skills per level vs someone that doesnt have the extra funds. Now if he had a lottery like once a year that would allow 1 resurection for the most completions in a year, well that even might be tooo much. |

5/16/2012 12:33:19 PM | when game gets more developed, maybe use this as a reward? I envision 1 character in a clan gets designated for resurrection, before they die, get cloned then brought out once the chatacter dies.
I don't think this would harm the game too much and allow favorite or promissing characters 1 shot at cheating death making player base a bit happier. |

5/16/2012 6:36:34 PM | Thats actually pretty cool. Random death lottery almost. You never know who might die, and i think the idea of a permanent ress possibility on one character would be cool. But only one of these could exist in any clan. |
