Is that in addition to the 5,000gp gem required for raise dead or the 10,000gp needed for resurrection?wolfgang_fener wrote:Without removing it entirely, you can do as I did nd make it more difficult.removing some more over-the-top spells and resurection style spells may help.
Raise-dead age the caster 1 year and cost 1000gp worth of holy oils, encences and such. The raised character returns with 1 hp and must heal naturally all its hp. The caster and the raised character must have complete rest for at least 1 day per HD/level raised.
Resurection is the same except it takes 3 years out of the caster but the raised character raise up fully healed and doesn't need rest.
I find aging characters seldom works and is very "second edition". Characters seldom live long enough to reach venerable or old age and seldom suffer the effects of long life. How many die of old age?
A more 3E and useful deterant is xp cost.
