Dead resurrection.

Ok, the idea would be that it would be a new prayer used by numen points.
First, you would need to be FULL tradition. You would also need 50-100 numen points. Which would be hard to get to unless very well developed. Many things can't be gotten by any idiot that sees those things, and forfeiting would lower the number GREATLY. Then, if you were full peaceful, when you died, you would get the character back immediately, while you sacrifice the character performing this ritual. If you have done many (human) killings then you'd have to walk through a hell maze while your temporary hp slowly goes down to zero, after it reaches 0 it evens out and starts deducting your permanent HP, if you try and fail, you cannot do the ritual again. If you succeed, you still cannot resurrect again. This is like a one time thing to get your most valuable character back. If it would be too imbalanced just say so.

Doesn't mean that they don't know about the game. They could have an alt account, you don't know for sure.

But i have to dislike this idea. As cool as the hell maze sounds, it seems rather imbalanced.

Let's say i rape the lp at 360% LA, with pearl necklace, etc. Just killing you know?

And i decide that i'm gonna piss off every town, by not necessarily killing, just thieving and ko'ing ppl.

Then they get their revenge.

Then, Lo and behold, my uber awesome character is revived by my alt who has full tradition, and uses the items in my old inventory and house to resurrect me.

Seems kinda unfair.

Fair is a human construct.

Is it fair to kill a man over some weeds?

Is it fair to destroy someone's entire camp simply because you suspect them of wrong-doing?

Is it fair to bully around others simply because you are the stronger party?



That said: I don't like this idea. It cheapens death even more than people already have.

Perma-death is a rare and powerful aspect of this game. Let's not take it away.

Don't much like this idea, although you've just made me realize how awesome it would be if there were some odd-looking cave in some secluded part of the world, and when you went in, you were at the Gates Of Hel.
