When it comes to resurrections, I look at it through my character's eyes. For example...
Vande: He's dead already. He's got work to do though and doesn't want the party to end. EVER. So, yes, he would want to be revived. (Don't know if he can even die, but that's not what we're about.)
Aesyn: He's a loaf. If he got himself killed, he probably deserved it in the first place or was too stupid to realize an important decision. So, he wouldn't accept being revived because of that. Besides, now he can loaf in the Light/whatever.
That's how it should be done. I have one example of one I would bring back and another of one I wouldn't, despite the fact that the second is one of my favourite characters who I would hate to see die. So I would propose this...
Character System:
-Infinite Resurrections
-GM approval: A GM has to look at the reason you are being revived. It's gotta be reasonable. 'I miss my friends.' Doesn't count. Something that would cause a ghost to remain behind would work, for example...
"I have to protect my family."
"I need to get revenge on John."
"I need to reclaim what is mine."
-Obviously, you can't just keep saying it, so if you cannot complete your goal after say... 10/20/30/50% every time you rez, then it doesn't work and he stays dead.
That's my idea, at least.
