Death & Resurrection | Matt Mercer Rule | House Rule

• The spirit must be willing to be resurrected.  Ex: A PC who killed himself/herself intentionally might not be willing to come back from Limbo.
• If a character is dead, and a resurrection is attempted by a spell or spell effect, with longer than 1 action casting time, a resurrection challenge is initiated.
• Up to 3 members of the party can offer to contribute to the ritual via contribution skill check.
• The DM asks each of them to make a skill check based on the form of their contribution.
• With the DC of the check adjusted to how helpful/impactful the DM feels the contribution would be.
• After all the contributions are completed, the DM then rolls a SINGLE, FINAL resurrection success check with NO MODIFIER.
• The BASE DC for the final resurrection check is 10, increasing by 1 for each previous successful resurrection that the PC undergone (signifying the slow erosion of the soul's connection to the material world).
• For each successful contribution skill check, this DC is decreased by 3, wheres as each failed contribution skill check increases the DC by 1.
• Players must keep track of how many times they have been brought back if they have been resurrected, increasing the BASE DC of the resurrection check.
