Graverisen [Achievement]
Death is no stranger to you, for you have risen from the
grave to continue your quest many times.
Requirement: Die and be brought back at least twice.
Benefit: You gain a single-use supernatural ability to
save yourself from death. The next time you would be
killed, you may use this ability, leaving you alive and
otherwise unaffected by the attack that would have killed
you, even against effects with no saving throw. This does
not require an action, and works even if you are helpless
or unconscious. If you die and are brought back to life,
you gain another single use of this ability. You can only
have one use of this ability unspent at any time; any others
you might accrue beyond the first are lost.
Here is my question - does the phrase "if you die and are brought back to life" refer to coming back to life via this feat, or only to resurrection magics such as raise dead or resurrection? In short, does it allow the character to come back from the brink of death repeatedly, or does it simply allow a character to treat resurrection magics as Buy One, Get One Free?

I'd interpret it more as a "buy one, get one free" type thing, seeing as they go through the trouble of saying you only get it once. Essentially whenever you would die, you don't actually die, so it doesn't count as being brought back to life. Rather, it's more "avoiding death" than returning from it. That being said, if you use your "get-out-of-death" card and die again, you get another card after returning. Essentially it means a character has to die twice in order to really die.
I hope this helps.

Makes sense, thanks!
