Splitting prestige point costs


Pathfinder Society

Silver Crusade 4/5

I was just looking at the Guide to Organized Play. I noticed (on pages 20-21) that you can buy a Raise Dead for 5450 gp or 16 prestige points. My level 3 character doesn't have that much gold or that much prestige, but I do have more than half of both. If I were to get killed, would I be able to spend half that much money and half that much prestige to get raised (2725 gp and 8 pp)?

No. Costs may not be split between PP and GP.

However, if you are killed, taking up a GP collection from other players at the table (who likely lived because you didn't) is fine - in fact, it's encouraged to make sure you raise your companions. Split 4 ways, the extra cost is probably less than your rewards for the scenario anyway.

Other players can't contribute PP, though, even if they're from the same faction.

As Don said you cannot. However you could split the cost of the Restorations to get rid of the negative levels and the cost of the raise dead. E.G. 16 PA for the raise dead and then 2 x 1,380 = 2,760 gp for the two restorations.

Death costs alot :)

Yeah, one guy in our group was not happy when he realized he couldn't buy the mithral full plate after all. He thought he could use 10 PA to cover 3750 gold toward the purchase price.

This is a reason that taking humans & demi-humans prisoner rather than killing them is always the better tactic. Then if anyone dies you can raise extra money by selling your prisoners into slavery. Obviously this works better in Kaer Maga than in Andoran. It takes some of the bite out of the cost of raise deads and restorations.

Or in other other words, don't sit at my table?
