Hello wise and gentle pathfinders!
I was wondering what the lowest level is that a PC can regularly bring their companions back to life. So far I think it is 7th: a druid can get Reincarnate at that level, though it changes the recipient's race. A Paladin can get Raise Dead at 7th using Ultimate Mercy if they are built for it (and a Cleric gets restoration then, so at 7th the party can deal with the permanent negative levels).
Any methods I'm missing? In particular, the Paladin can get down to level 5 if I'm missing items to give more Lay on Hands charges at once. Actually, with feat retraining they can do level 5.
