Default Re: [Basic] Disadvantage of the Week: Final Stand

I'm not at all sure that it deserves to be allowed in a world where you can come back. If your brain recording is going to upload and the technicians will be decanting your replacement body in a couple of days dying is just another tactic.
If you've paid for the ability to come back in CP, I don't think I'd see a problem with it. You're still out 25 CP if you have an Extra Life, out for a long period of healing and at risk of having your body damaged or destroyed if you have Unkillable 1, and aren't offsetting more than a tiny fraction of what you've paid for if you have Unkillable 2+ and/or enough Regeneration that resurrecting doesn't mean a whole lotta downtime.

In a setting where resurrection is a standard part of emergency medicine, like Schlock Mercenary or high-powered Dungeon Fantasy, I think I agree.
