Ladies and gentlemen, the Owlbear song.
Geek cred to the first commenter explaining my cryptic title and the problem in Marcotte's song to which it alludes.
Marcotte's D&D works are up on Spotify (and here and here). Listen to them during your next campaign.
HT: my search on Spotify for the word "Owlbear". This is the only song that came up. If you need to ask why I'd have searched Spotify for Owlbears, you've not been reading me long enough.
I assume that There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Reincarnation.
ReplyDeleteAnd the point goes to he who needs no points; no sense in my being stickly about your not having pointed out that reincarnation costs a level or constitution points.
ReplyDeletefrom the sublime to the lofty. I liked the song, and Friedman's comments, so I looked him up and now I get another month of reading homework
ReplyDeleteDo I at least get a half point for recognising this as a modification of Heinlein's TANSTAAFL?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure you know that resurrection ain't free in D&D...
ReplyDeleteThis will probably shock you but I've never had a need for a resurrection in D&D, I have spent far too long playing other game systems.
ReplyDeleteLose a level. If at Level 1, lose CON instead. Only a very high level character could find "resurrect over and over 'till find the body I want" to be optimal.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought someone of sufficiently high level that this strategy was a possibility would be able to find an alternate means to transfer his/her soul into a suitable receptacle that did not require repeated XP loss.
ReplyDeleteDunno... in the song, it's just a random druid walking by who helps out.
