Just doing some looking around at the various classes and when studying up on the Warpriest's Blessing, I saw that there was a focused blessing called Resurrection.
"At 10th level, your touch can defy the cold claws of death itself. You can temporarily revive a touched ally to continue fighting, as if you had cast raise dead on her. The revived ally is also staggered for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your warpriest level, after which she immediately dies. The ally is free to act as she sees fit during this time, and you are granted no control over her."
Now reeding this RAW, seems to indicate that the character brought back will instantly drop dead again after the time limit (5 rounds at the point the ability could be used) regardless of their health situation. Makes it pointless to heal them if that is the case. So Am I understanding that correctly?
Another question comes up from this though. Does the temporary bring back to life reset how long they have been dead? Some interesting potentials in preserving a body for transport back to a city for revival if it does. Don't get me wrong their are easier ways to do so, but it is a potential none the less.
1. Mostly. Healing can prevent the target from getting killed again before the duration expires.
2. Yes. Keep in mind that the targrt accrues a negative level each time.
Is there any reason that the usage of Return of the Fallen from the Resurrection blessing in conjuction with Breath of life (once they kill over) would not work together?
Seems like a easy way of avoiding the heavy gold cost of raise dead.
Ahahahaha! Nope, I don't see anything that would prevent that from working other than an unamused GM.
