No resurrection in Shadowrun. One of the many things I like about the system.
Recently, however, I began thinking about possibly a limited form of resurrection that would be a viable spell; resuscitating the recently deceased. This is possible out to several minutes after death currently, & I see no reason Magic would be unable to accomplish a similar result. Justification would be that the 'soul' does not depart the body instantaneously. I have no working statistics for the spell, but a few ideas on how it should work. I am posting here for any suggestions on how to work it. I am not interested in any "This doesn't work" type comments. Thus far, I have decided that the spell would possess a Threshold equal to the minutes dead (round up) or something similar. In addition, the body must be capable of supporting life - if they require a heart to live, & their heart damaged beyond use or missing, it doesn't work. Ideas? |
