Is this worth it?


Advice


We're all level 10 characters and I haven't actually checked against the wealth by level table but our total savings count 4000 gold pieces.

Notable recent losses:
1: One +3 cloak of resistance (fireball)
2: One +2 cloak of resistance (black pudding)
3: One +2 cloak of resistance (black pudding)
4: One hat of disguise (black pudding)
5: One +1 great flail (black pudding)
6: One +1 or +2 full plate (black pudding)

The problem is we got totally screwed by a random encounter quite early on after having made our characters (at level 9) to recover from a previous total party kill. We encountered a devil/demon which we only survived thanks to trading it one +3 and one +2 weapon (one of these belonging to our battle cleric (more about him in a sec)). Since then, he and the fighter has fought with non-magical weapons.

So the battle oracle has been playing gimped ever since he was created.

We did just recover these two weapons but at a cost...

A few rounds before we win the battle, the oracle is hit with a disintegrate... Now we haven't had a group discussion about this because the session ended just after our victory, but the battle oracle wants to be resurrected and we have almost no money.

We have potentially recovered a major treasure (likely around 20-30k gold pieces), but we don't know the exact contents.

This is Kingmaker, book 4. We suffered a HORRENDOUSLY PAINFUL total party kill in book 3 which has put us in a weird situation: We are now playing as adventurers assisting a particular person in a country to the east. Our "kingdom" is now ruled by some priest. Because of this, we have no kingdom budget to borrow from.

TLDR: We have almost no money. We have lost buttloads of items because of one stupid encounter (black puddings). The battle oracle wants to be resurrected but we have to pay for True Resurrection for that to be possible.

Tell your battle oracle friend to reroll a new character. It's frankly not worth it, not only you need to find a 9th level spellcaster, then you have to pay 25k to cast the spell.


Yes. That seems to be the most reasonable solution, it just sucks for him because he never got to use his own weapon before dying. He only had it for 3 or 4 encounters.

It's honestly up to the group. If you have a good in-character, RP reason to resurrect him, then go for it. You should. If you don't, have him roll up a new character. If your DM is working to ensure that the group has fun, he'll help you get back onto WBL relatively quickly.
