Was discussing with someone else just a few moments ago, and noticed the Gemrardi posts going in this direction, so started a new topic.

Top Five things Resurrection should do, in light of what DR is now that it's 15+ years old, beyond DR3.0, and what not:

1: Somehow allow for some of the mindstates still to be available to resurrected individual.
2: Retain some of the bonuses (Confidence, Inner Fire, or what not).
3: Save those Scrolls.
4: Better vitality, fatigue, and spirit, then if you depart (don't know if there is a difference but there should be).
5: Maybe some type of Immortal's Boon, that energizes you for a short period with Holy Magic, Immortal Radiance, or something.

Victory Over Lyras, on the 397th year and 156 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.

Well of course, why I used some for most of my 5 points, and tried to give a feel for a better, but not prefect for most, of course the fifth one was well, it was just something that hit me as I was trying to come up for a five part. It seems to come into being, of course what I haven't touched on is what about that cleric, I mean shouldn't the cleric get something, some fulfillment, other then, -pat on back- 'good job Falvius (or whomever)'.

And certainly I think just like how the upper level (ability) clerics can raise someone and have them standing, and the lower ones everyone is still laying about (including the collapsed cleric). There should be a benefit to being that better cleric who is able to pump more mana in, has more ability and maybe that Thuergy does work in at something.

I'm bring all this up because to me, it seemed so cool of an idea back in the day, and now with where the game has gone, its look alright well shelf that spell because well, it just isn't that helpful with nowadays stuff. That shouldn't happen, it's supposed to kick. It's supposed to be the muscle car, and people are supposed to be like, 'hot darn, look at it.'

>>5: Maybe some type of Immortal's Boon, that energizes you for a short period with Holy Magic, Immortal Radiance, or something.

Or maybe a temporary boost to devotion gain on any following rituals!

>>Or maybe candy.

Unless that's a good lookin woman by the name of Candy that's delivering me devotion and/or Theurgy..

no.

No.

>>Sheesh. Never fails. OM was a big help. Why the removal?

Because you can now cast other spells while maintaining a cyclic spell as a basic feature of magic 3.0, so putting it in the orb would be redundant.

With the Raw Channeling feat(which is pretty much a must anyways IMO) it's a non-issue. It's so convenient I hadn't even thought to check and see if Resurrection could still go in OM.

Raise takes a while to get use to. But once you figure out your limits, its pretty easy. Just preach folks to keep a ratio of one favor for every six circles. If they get to the point of one favor for every tenth circle, its time to start replenshing. It really helps to allow clerics of all skill ranges an easier time to find the soul.

it really isn't hard to maintain. My lvl 130 moon mage, is being raised with two infuses of 20 with 30 favors.

>>why would non-clerics really care?

Because if they are too annoying to find I'll just let them rot?

/shrug

If you want to be 100+ and run only a couple favors, then don't expect me to waste my time on you. "You" being a general you.
