Furthermore the Pantheon can burn 5 Acts to prevent the complete Death of the God. What happens then to him you ask? That depends on how he was killed and how you intend to safe him.

Preventing death isn't bringing someone back to life. The former includes CPR, the latter includes Jesus.

A Key word there was killed, suggesting that he was already dead

The way I read it is, "how he would have been killed," which makes more sense to me than shoehorning "prevent" to mean "undo."

But the wording is how he WAS killed

The wording is also "prevent"...although I just realized the word "complete," implying a period of time after being attacked but before actually passing away where the god could be saved. I doubt the grace period lasts more than a fraction of a turn, though.

Yeah, i do think it imlpies bringing the god back soon after his death, but still after death

[Xantalos]

I think it's just a grammar thing, guys.

In the same way CPR brings someone back from death, yes.

I think it's just a grammar thing, guys.

The most clear thing for me is "prevent."

Screw that I'm bored, and when I'm bored I argue, just ak my dad, he hates that about me

@Ghaz:Can people be revived Ghaz? Without a pantheon.

Can people be revived with a pantheon?

Go back to the start of the OOC and look under Younger gods

I see that pantheons can be formed. I don't see anything about gods coming back to life with them.

Udil DIED AND ASCENDED during the battle. He was essentially resurrected, only not in the way I envisioned. It was imperfect, explaining the eternal agony.

-snip-
...Almost gently the Dwarf was lifted into the air and revived
Udil Dragonslayer had ascended to godhood. His skin blistering red and hot, he would forever feel the constant pain of being burned alive. The God of Wrath was born.
-snip-
Udil has died and ascended

Here for posterity. Also, Volondor didn't rescue any Crowborn, they were all on the Corvid Moon.

[Xantalos]

If you do decide to try the ressurection thing, clear it with Ghaz first because I'd hate for you to die due to something that might not even be possible.

I'd be using a mighty act and anyway I'd just use it for something different if it fails.

Now I just need an IC justification for this.

Who would you be trying to bring back?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Most likely, Corvus would bring back Neyravah as a test to see if it is possible. Neyravah and Corvus never spoke to each other, so it would be unlikely that they would kill Corvus unless Ghaz decides to make them insane upon return, even though Udil was resurrected faster and didn't go insane.

Corvus is the god of knowledge.

He doesn't know whether this will work or not.

Therefore, SCIENCE!!

[Xantalos]

Well, if anyone deserves to be brought back into the game purely to reverse their previous trend of bad luck, it's GWG.
Because seriously, that's the most unfortunate character I've seen since Tales of Unfortunate Events.

[ragnarok97071]

As a note it might be better to try to bring an Ascendant back from the dead than to try to bring a full fledge god back.

With an ascendant, they have a relatively weak amount of power and an actual mortal soul to yoink back.

Gods... not so much. Far as I remember their essence basically poofles when they die.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Due to said bad luck, if I did try to revive Neyravah, I'd only probably succeed in bringing Neyra or Ravah back, and I'd have to expend another Mighty Act to bring the other half back.

Meh, FOR !!SCIENCE!!.


Also, an Ascendant would just be revived like a mortal is. They don't have godly essence yet.
And how my theory works is that I just essentially pull back cosmic leftovers and crumbs and call their godly soul from the afterlife using some of their creations.
