Talk:Resurrection, Ultimate (3.5e Spell)

Epic

I tried to reword it... but I did not understand it all that well. I also do not understand what the use of this spell is. If I reworded it incorrectly, just change it. I found it difficult to understand what it does. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blue Dragon (talk • contribs) 13:48, 8 February 2006 (MST). Please sign your posts.

There is no such thing in D&D as a level 10 spell. This would be an epic spell. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Winter (talk • contribs) 06:59, 16 February 2006 (MST). Please sign your posts.

Just a note... This is an EPIC spell... but I'm not going to do anything —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.52.192.222 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 6 May 2006 (MST). Please sign your posts.

Is this a Stub?

This no longer looks like a stub to me, so I removed the stub label. If I am mistaken in any way, just add it back on! --Blue Dragon 10:53, 6 May 2006 (MDT)

I added the stub marking back on because I feel that the level of this spell is not correct, should it be EPIC? So, stub is back on... --Green_Dragon

I do not believe that a stub marking is appropriate here because a stub means that something does not have enough information, or needs serious creative help. I am changing Ultimate Resurrection from being a stub to needing to be balanced. --Blue Dragon 14:03, 7 May 2006 (MDT)

Balance

This spell seems neither useful nor particularly balanced. The cost of the caster's life is simply too much, this isn't really as good as True Resurrection, shouldn't be 9th level, and if it takes 5 days to cast then it is actually an incantation (UA). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 127.0.0.1 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 31 August 2006 (MST).

Seems like this needs to be changed, non-balanced is not good..... Anyone like to do this? --Green Dragon 21:55, 31 August 2006 (MDT)

I can spend some time tonight with my ELC and make an uber-res off the Life and Heal seeds, if you'd like. Armond 14:41, 12 March 2007 (MDT)

Sure, go for it :D. --Green Dragon 23:39, 12 March 2007 (MDT)

...There really isn't anything Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

Cache-Control: max-age=0

u can do past True Resurrection without bending the rules so much you can hear them creak. The best I could get was a one-action version of True Resurrection, but unless I do a bunch of ad hoc stuff it'll have a DC of around 300, before mitigating factors... Question, what was the author thinking when s/he wrote this? Armond 19:01, 22 March 2007 (MDT)

I can see this being used by an evil person that will go to any means to help resurrect there leader — even if that means killing themselves in the process. I think that was whatProxy-Connection: keep-alive

Cache-Control: max-age=0

he author was trying to get to convey, what do you think? --Green Dragon 23:46, 22 March 2007 (MDT)

Evil? If anything it seems alot more bent to good aligned since you must be willing to die permanently for the recipient.

It looks useful to me- I can see a good cleric using it to resurrect the mighty hero who is the only person who can save the world... The other use is for someone to use that one year to learn how to become immortal... MorkaisChosen 12:03, 1 September 2007 (MDT)

Good, since this has a use it will not be deleted or changed. --Green Dragon 12:08, 3 September 2007 (MDT)

I think this spell should be renamed "Martyrdom" since it is more similar to that than just healing spells. --Owen

Little is it known that this spell does not merely add 1 year onto the life of the recipient. It actually adds the number of years left in the caster's natural lifespan. For example, if a 50 year-old caster had 30 years left of his natural life (i.e. would die of old age at 80), then 30 years are added to the life of the recipient. Several particularly evil and charismatic spell casters have used guile and coercion to convince some of their colleagues/followers/apprentices to cast this spell, resulting in a life span of over a thousand years. This, of course, is very rare. Finding someone who can convince a dozen high level spell casters to do this is quite extraordinary, but possible nevertheless. --Xagyg

Useless Spell?

Who on earth is going to cast this spell when you have true ressurection and a bevvy of divination spells allowing you to find a trapped soul? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.236.56.18 (talk • contribs) 03:18, 5 December 2007 (MDT). Please sign your posts.

See the discussion above. --Green Dragon 18:51, 5 December 2007 (MST)

I agree unsigned, I think this is useless. Not because of trapped soul, but because of killing off a character. PERMANENTLY. I get it is the only thing that revives people that died of old age, but why would you kill off a PC and the party's cleric to revive ANYONE!? Just my opinion here, Anyone's allowed to contest me here
