No Raising Hostile PCs
Huh whats the issue? No Npc to raise rebels?
The DM who scripted this will know what I'm talking about!
Actually, I disagree.
A soul will only return and be raised if it feels safe and wants to return. If your hostile, It likely wont want to return to you.
Are we talking about the hostile button in-game? I always thought that was a function of pure mechanics, and should never function in any IC way.
You know, "I can prove he was hostile and planning to kill me, your honor! He had that red glowy look!"
If for story reasons your PC is at odds with a cleric, it is doubtful that he/she will go out of his/her way to raise you. Granted, I agree it's a pain in the buttox that no IG raise is available to you, but, you could always switch sides.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
I think we do say that dead PCs can prevent themselves from being raised though, so if it's the Hostile feature that was probably some enterprising DM scripting that in as a way to prevent that - it's news to me though!
Needs more context.
If you are hostile to a person, and use a raise dead scroll on them, you lose the scroll and nothing happens. This occurs even if you are in the same party as them, but have set the entire server to hostile. You get the message 'You cannot raise hostile PCs'.
Since it was never mentioned in the announcement forum, you can easily lose irreplacable scrolls when try to raise people. If there needs to be a 'can't raise me' option, it should at least return the scroll so that if it is a mistake, you don't lose it.
I don't know what Goblin Butcher and Beggar are talking about.
_trendymonster_ I don't know what Goblin Butcher and Beggar are talking about.
We were struggling to understand the your vague suggestion! Now it's clear though.
If your target is hostile, he or she is actively resisting your resurrection (something which every dead character has a right to do). Obviously making a failed attempt will consume the scroll regardless, and I personally have no plans to enter the script and change that.
You know how it works now. Just be careful to ensure that your target is aware of his or her hostile status in future.
