One thing the sourcebooks never touched on is exactly WHERE characters souls go when they die. One of the most admirable traits of the game was the permanent lethality. There is no cleric to come sashaying up the road and ressurect some dead PC.
But where does the character go when they die? Some astral plane? If such is the case, what is the potential that one could come back from the dead? I ask this because me and my group are going to attempt to resurrect our dead friends via: a free spirit with astral gateway, a ley line nexus, and (potentially) an exploding pheonix. |
