I have a few things to suggest regarding the Raise and Resurrection line, based on experience for a while with the death system as it stands.
1. Is there a way to trigger a dialogue box on someone casting Raise or Resurrection on your corpse object to allow you to grant or deny permission? I ask because the PnP spells have always required permission from the subject, and given all the XP that is lost from a high-level character being raised by anything but DM, it's not a trivial concern.
2. Might it be possible to burn a Signus as a material component for a cost-free Raise or Resurrection? Let's be honest -- for a character over level 10, and definitely over 15, there is going to be little reason you would ever want to be raised by anything but DM, if possible. Waiting for several days would be a preferrable alternative to losing a lot of essentially irreplacable XP. Also, I OOCly feel bad on casting Raise, since the penalty is really stiff, and it feels wrong to be docking someone that much experience even if you're sort of helping them. In fact, since returning, I think I have cast the spell a grand total of once.
