A Land Far Away

on the topic of permadeath, how do you think we should handle it ?


A. Limited number of Rez's ( using a undropable Rez counter to keep track)

B. Spell component cost ( script raise dead and other spells to only work if they can take a 5000GP diamond from the PCs inventory)

C. Reduction of constitution (through the use of an undroppable item )

D. The current system is fine (don't fix it if it ain't broke)

E. After 10th level you cannot be raised as you have become to important to your Deity and you are irrevocablly summoned ... this should help keep high level PCs from running amuck... Twisted Evil

I vote for ummm .... I'll wait and see what everyone else chooses and then go with that since I really hate being flamed for not agreeing with the loudest forum posters...*Sarcasm* I think E. because it helps create a decline for highlevels and we are in the "year of Fallen heroes" AND C. for
"raise-dead" only and B. If its possible for Ressurection...with no CON penalty and A. but at a really high number like 10 because past that it is a bit ridiculous IMO. ... so everything except D.


[Edit] just a note btw did you all notice I didn't even mention PnP scheduled groups ... oh drat.


can someone make this a poll please ?

This would have been brought to the players in time once the dms settled on a proposal. But fine I'll set up the poll.

well lets let some others put in ideas they like as well ... I just collected some as I scanned the thread ... any ideas you would like to see in the Poll?

Sorry Khondar the poll has been cast already ... but your vote has been noted. Thanks

Oh Vendrin ... I just now caught that.

How do you spell ( Two Shay ) anyway very good this poll will be quite a riot I'm sure.

I believe it's Touche with a ' over the e.

well apparently if I STFU and stop spamming then we will not have any complaints about the permadeath system ?

One can only hope.

I vote for STFU.

I voted STFU not because I wish to tweak NJ's nose but because the option I support is not listed. To wit: I would remove scripted raises from ALFA altogether. There would be no limit on the number of raises a character could have, but the raises would have to be provided by a DM. The cost of such raise would, at a minimum, be whatever spell component cost we agree on, be that the 3.0 or 3.5 guidelines, but could be much higher. A recent 'raise' on SP took more than a game year to accomplish and cost far, far, far more than even the 3.5 guidelines cost for true rez. C'est la vie.

Admit it Mik, you are as tired of his spam as everyone else.

This is PnP...its D&D...the rules apply when they are set in the core perimeters.
Entertain the variances but don't lose the essence of the launch from the ALFA, alpha!

I would love to see it all done by DMs. But barring that (as that would never happen), I would want to see what the Permadeath Team decided put into place. Dont' know if everyone can see this, but there it is.
