[PnP] Resurrection

[Alex Koponen]

In my games Resurection is only available to those with influence on 
those few that know Resurrection. And since Resurrection doesn't restore 
one fully except at high EL, those with sufficient influence (money, 
power, friendship) will prefer to have the highest EL used on them. 
Though rarely do they have any choice once they NEED resurrecting.

Also the body must be available - in condition good enough to be 
resurrectable. And those already suffering from old age (or other 
incurable infirmities) often will prefer not to have resurrections.

Different cultures have different reactions to Resurrection. In some 
there is no one available to cast Resurrection so the question is moot. 
Some societies (like Star Trek - Doc doesn't even try CPR) deem it wrong 
to bring someone back from the dead. In others it is strictly controlled 
by those in power (at least of those with ability to cast Resurrection). 
Some societies are looser about the controls and some have no controls, 
allowing any that can afford the price to make whatever arrangements 
they deem suitable for their Resurrection.

In these last the price would tend to be 'Whatever the market will 
bear'. Someone with EL10 in Resurrection might be able to charge a 
king's ransom, but only if there isn't a number of others offering the 
same service. So, how rare is magic? Particularly such powerful magic as 
Resurrection.
