Hi Bryan.
In that sense, as with the random dungeons, entombed is more like a
roguelike, sinse most roguelikes don't even give you the option of being a
zombi, heck, Angband (the only roguelike I've ever been able to play), has a
game 100 floors long, can take weeks, then ooops, perminant death!
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

I was thinking more along the lines of a traditional RPG.

Hi Bryan,
Yes, it would be nice to bring characters fully back from the dead, but
I also see Jason's logic here. If a character gets killed, IE stone
dead, bringing them back from the dead should have penalties. Either
they are a zombie or skeleton, with low intelligence, or they are
reincarnated as a lesser creature. These are fair compromises to keep
the game challenging. After all, in most fantasy books, games, and so on
you can't just bring someone back to life without some sort of
necromancer involved, and even then its not the same as being restored
to real life. There are always consequences for that kind of magic.
I think that's why I got turned off of Sryth. If you died in the course
of a game it had no immediate or long lasting consequences. All you did
was lose a life stone, and you could purchase as many of those as you
wanted or needed to keep reviving your character. I like fantasy, but
even that should have some limits.

Personally I stil feel there needs to be a way to revive them outright,
since in either Zombie or Skeleton cases you can't control them. And if
you reincarnate them you could get them back as a Crypt Creep. And that's
hardly worth the fact that you can at least control them since even a
minor hit will probably kill them again.
