Yeaaa, if the resurrection is gonna cost EVERYTHING you get from a dungeon, it is better to just say goodbye to that character and make them a new one. Cause screw that.
For real, the whole point of playing a group RP game, and not some video game alone in your room, is the whole other real people to interact with aspect of it ….
Losing a party member may never feel like losing a actual loved one, but it sure as hell should dig up some of that same buried pain
haha it’s already in the game, it’s called “Reincarnate”
Make those cheap bastards roll the dice (literally) on what fresh hell their fallen compatriot will awaken to.
I forget exactly how I did it, but I essentially resurrected one of my players free…except, unbeknownst to her (outside my hints) her patron deity was now a demon lord. They had just met him (disguised as a paladin) when we stopped due to ‘Rona. I was sad I never got to play that out.

In my campaign, the Church started offering the heroes a punchcard, buy 10 resurrections, get 1 free!
It was intended as a one-off joke. The party took that as a challenge.
i had a character who was prone to dying in the previous campaign. no resurrection needed, but a lot of Revivify.
Eventually got to the joke of “Three more deaths and i get a free coffee!” with the plan of one day waking up from a revivify and just instantly taking a sip from a cup of coffee that wasn’t in her hand before.
Sadly the campaign died one death before the payoff would have happened 😛

“Resurrection”, “Reanimation”, they can’t be that different, right?
but there’s also always the option to go into the woods and have some dirty barklicker cast Reincarnate as well, really leave it up to chance if dude comes back as a voluptuous lady-goblin

I’m always a bit confused. There’s not a dedicated DM here. Since it’s *his* body, I’d definitely say there’s a discount available!
Eh. A good DM can separate from their PC, as the most important thing is the integrity of the world building. To be a combo DM and player you need to be trusted not to act as a Deus ex Machina all the time

Do they even need that guy? Can’t recruit another one?
Realistically it should get harder and harder to get people matching your level as time goes on.
Practically, GMs tend to just let people make whole new characters at the same level with all the wealth they should have. I can’t really argue with it, even if it doesn’t make in world sense.
I see your point, and counter with TERRION DARINGTON

You can tell Three’s a good GM, because he’s deliberately still making it hard for the party and giving them problems to solve and discuss, despite the fact that it’s his own character.
True, I think it makes a lot of sense, if you want to allow a party to avoid the tragic consequences of a pc death, it should REALLY fucking HURT. Big sacrifice to save a life, keeps it from feeling cheap.

I blame the gamemaster here… he set the price to resurrect his OWN character.
Yeah, but that’s because he’s being a _good_ game master. Making resurrection easier because it’s your character is one of those things that sets a bad precedent. You either mess up the balance of your game by making resurrection easier all the time, or you effectively make it so that your team prefers your character to risk life and limb in all situations because you’ll be easier to resurrect. Being unbiased and retaining the inconvenience of resurrection is the right thing to do.
well, sure ya 25k retail value, but this uppity nutmunch probably gets them wholesale in bulk, or owns a diamond mine.

I mean, that’s what happened to Mimir, just minus the layaway part. Pretty sure there’d be a fight between the two on who would carry the head.
Oh how I hope they cheap out and get a Druid to cast Reincarnate, the Druid of course will swear it’s just as good.

The real treasure are the friends you made along the way though. Also the EXP

Feh. The real treasure is treasure. That’s why they call it “treasure”.
Jack sparrow voice: “not all treasure is silver and gold, mate”
Right. There is also platinum and gems.
You need to do the head last or you’ll be hearing the complaints during the whole payment process.
That depends. She didn’t exactly specify which head.
Gods above, I need to offer “discount ressurection” if my players ever need one. It’s gonna be hilarible

How many cards?
I’m sure each player got their own. 🙂
But how many cards, though?

lol , close enough for 4, for sure.

My exact thoughts… I bet a decent mausoleum costs a tenth of that.

He’s even doing the “corpse hits the ground” thing on his own body.
Sure, yeah. Accurate. I’m just saying… he brought this on himself. He should know his players 😉
true, it this group at least.
if were just up to 1 & 4 , 3 would be getting …. dirt roaded , as they say in the Warrens
10,000 gold is actually quite the bargain since the spell he’s offering sounds like True Resurrection, which costs 25,000 gp worth of diamond dust.
That’s provided they’re playing under a D&D system. IIRC the author had stated that what they’re playing is “sorta the same, but also different”…
take all the books, let 4 put them in a blender, put it in a bag and pull out bits
