So I was looking at the Path of Nonexistence, and it got me thinking that you could come pretty close with resurrection there. I couldn't quite figure out what would be the most appropriate for resurrection, but just out of curiosity, how would you guys do it.
Note: You don't have to use Daath, but I'd thought of a few things that could be done to compensate for the universe not really wanting you to bring the dead back. Take Me Instead- You sacrifice the life of the client so that the subject may continue to live. The client must specifically ask for you to perform this sacrifice and do so willingly. But at what Energy Modifier Sacrifice Unwilling Participants. Again, exactly how many participants or how much extra energy would make sense for such a ritual? Sacrifice Worldly Gains- Reduce your wealth level below Average, but how far, and for how long? Most of all, what path(s) would you guys use? |

Re: Epic RPM
I already covered this in my "The Old Ways" article and here.

Re: Epic RPM
Are there any other 'absolutes' in terms of physical impossibilities you've covered? Like things that just can't happen or be duplicated by technology as we understand it?

Re: Epic RPM
Other than the GURPS absolutes (no infinite DR, Damage, etc.) I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain further.

if you've prepared a body for burial, it's arguably still subject to the larger of the two rituals you linked, but it would be absolutely impossible with medical science to bring such a person back to life. Things you'd only be able to do on Epic Magic scale. We have Nuclear Weapons, so that sort of ritual is not really the kind of thing I'm talking about. I guess you could say "miracles" is a better word than absolutes. Things that have to be done with magic because we have not really conceived a way to do them and it doesn't look like it's gonna happen any time soon. |

Re: Epic RPM
The snippet wasn't really what I was asking so I found the answer in the rest of the entry. Fair enough I guess. Anyone else?

Re: Epic RPM
Wait a minute, Ghostdancer - that list of three questions seems to my eyes to point in different directions.
1: Easy things (presumably lesser?) get a 'yes' 2: Things that can be done with tech (presumably lesser?) get a 'yes' 3: Things that violate natural laws (presumably greater?) get a 'yes' Now I'm more confused than I was.... |
