Resurrection 10 years xlevel?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Raise Dead (Lv 5) can resurrect a creature that died up to 1 day x caster level ago (as in 3.5).
True Resurrection (Lv9) can resurrect a creature that died up to 10 years x caster level ago (as in 3.5).
Resurrection (Lv 7) can resurrect a creature that died up to 10 years x caster level ago (like True Res???).

Is it a typing error or was it really intended to be so? (I assume it's an error, but you can never know. 'Course I'll houserule it to 1 year anyway, but I'm just curious).

As a side note, Raise Dead's entry doesn't say clearly that a creature unwilling to return to life must succeed a Will save.
It says: "Saving Throw none, see text", but the text says nothing about the unwilling one to make a Will save. Or, at least, it may not be much clear for someone who isn't used to D&D.


From the SRD:

Quote:
If the subject's soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work

No save required - if you don't want to be raised, you're not raised.


Then why "see text"? If it's none it's just none.
Also:
"If the subject’s soul is not willing to return, the spell does not work; therefore, a subject that wants to return receives no saving throw."
That would imply that an unwilling one must do it, otherwise it's a pointless line.
If no save is implied, no point in speaking of them.

A saving throw of "none" implies that the target has no chance of avoiding the spell.

The "none, see text" marker is the standard way of indicating "willing target only".
