• Casting Time 10 rounds

• Range Touch

• Duration Instantaneous

• Save None

This spell will restores life to a dead humanoid.

When cast and (at least) a small piece of bone from a dead humanoid's body (or the body containing a small piece of bone) is touched:

• The recipient must make a Resurrect save or the resurrection attempt fails.

• The recipient is restored to life.

• The recipient loses 1 point of Constitution permanently.

• The recipient is restored to life at full health (undamaged) and as if having rested for 24 hours.

• If cast on a corporeal undead that meets all requirements for the spell, the creature will be restored to life (losing all undead abilities but possibly gaining class level abilities).

Experience Considerations

• • See Death.

Other Considerations

• • When the spell is cast, the caster ages 3 years. Creatures not immortal (immune to aging effects) must make a System Save or die immediately (the caster will not fall into a coma).

  • Assuming the caster makes the System Save, they will be exhausted until they rest at least 24 hours of bed rest per hit die of the creature resurrected.

Limitations

• • Only creatures with souls, including humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings and half-elves can be resurrected with this spell (including those that are undead).

  • The caster can only use this spell on a creature that has been dead for 10 years per caster level.

  • Humanoids without a Constitution score can only be raised/resurrected a maximum of 10 times. Humanoids with a Constitution score can only be raised/resurrected a maximum of once per orginal point of Constitution.

  • The spell requires at least a small bit of bone for the target's body including a single tooth. Flesh, nail clippings, hair, etc. will not allow the creature to be resurrected.

Performance Rating Notes. Evil clerics using resurrection will gain a performance rating mark. Unless the GM rules otherwise, Good clerics attempting to cast destruction will fail the casting of the spell and lose all powers until atonement occurs.
