    Nah, this totally makes sense. Revivify costs 300 gp, which is about 5 months of work for a skilled hireling (or 4 years for an unskilled one). Laws are only for the poor.

    If you convert to the relative value of labor instead of the real life value of diamonds, it’s probably something like $40k to $60k to revivify someone. Seems like enough cash on hand to somehow get away with murder.

      Going with the cost of living equivalent, it’s only about $15,000, which I think still does the job of pricing out the poor

      But in that case, they’d probably fine you so that they get that money instead of just letting those diamonds be destroyed.

      Also, Zealot Barbarians can be Revivified for free. They’d probably want to close that loophole.

        Yeah. I’m running into that problem with higher level players now. They are being held to account for burglary, kidnapping and property damage they did 8 levels ago before they were nobles with land from another king.

        You can’t really imprison or execute people this powerful. The amount of force you’d need to bring to bear isn’t worth the collateral damage. You just fine them and force a public apology if they want to do business in the capital ever again. Their wealth and social standing is more important.

      Good point. And it’s even less on discount Thursdays.

      Don’t forget they’ll likely have brain damage from being dead so maybe you can write that in somewhere
