> One thing to remember is that combat in RQ can be pretty lethal. The comparative ease with which Resurrection was available in RQ helped balance that out by giving players a way to recover a character lost to bad luck. My impression is that combat is less lethal (or rather, the lethality is less dependent on random die rolls), so it makes sense from a game balance standpoint for Resurrection to be rarer as well.
