Re: Resurrection/raise dead/souls in SJ

Lol good point ;)
Especially in the Phlogiston where the Planar contacts get screwy, eh?
I think that the Astral Plane reaches all D&D worlds (usually anyway) and
thus contact cnabe established, BUT...

Some places are...screwy..at the DMs option, Ravenloft-like, or magic is
weak, planar connectiona weak, chance of a failure etc.

Subject: [SPELLJAMMER] Resurrection/raise dead/souls in SJ

Something just clicked when reading over parts of the
FRCS.

In it, it discussed how a dead character without a
patron deity has a hard time being raised.  Basically,
without one, you only get 1d10 days to be raised, or
your soul gets collected and only a wish brings you
back after that.

So, lets toss this in the mix: what happens to your
soul if you die in a sphere where your god is *not*
worshipped, and (if you use this setup) the plane of
your god isn't accessable?  Say a guy from Greatspace
who worships Zeus goes to Grommspace, where Zeus isn't
worshipped at all, and dies.  Does Kong get his soul? 
Does anyone?  Or does his soul wander the sphere as a
ghost &/or some other type of undead?  Do fiends prowl
the etherals of various spheres looking to round up
such lost souls?  Or howabout a "Pirates of the
Caribbean"-style "Davy Jones"?

Something to think about/discuss.  Heck, done right,
that could set up a rather interesting, horror-type
game with shades of 40k involved :D
