I'd just call it a new limitation for Extra Life, "Delayed Return". I think Extra Life already assumes that there's some delay between your "death" and return - at least long enough for your enemies to go "Well, they must be dead" and leave - but a longer delay definitely seems like a limitation. I'd say that a guaranteed delay of 1 day would be -10%, a week -20%, a month -30%, three months -40%, six months -50%, a year -60%, two years -70%, and three years or more -80%.

That sounds workable.

Thinking it might work is a belief quirk at most. It isn't like Christians need to take Unkillable with limitations representing bodily resurrection on Judgment Day in order to represent burial!

Crossing several levels of meta: And in the 95% of universes where the Unreliable roll is 6 or more, you're right, it's little more than an elaborate funeral. Some people are willing to gamble they're in one of the other 5% of universes; this character is one of them, you're not, and I can't think of any easy way to bridge the gap without a few megabytes' worth of forum postings and discussion.
