In GD we handle resurrections in the Recovery Phase. This segment of game play occurs after the Adventure and encompasses the players taking their characters on side-quests (Excursions), fencing loot, buying new items and gear, earning coin through mercenary work, and yes, resurrecting dead adventurers.
Here's a rules excerpt to better explain what this entails:
Resurrect A Comrade
Dead characters can be resurrected, but it’s not easy, or cheap! The character attempting this task subtracts 2 from the PWS and makes an Arcane Trap/Task check based on his Class. Add +1 if this is not the first Recovery phase following the character’s death.
Arcane Trap/Task
Class TN#
Mage, Priest 5
Ranger, Druid 6
Thief, Fighter 7
If the character succeeds his dead comrade returns! The resurrected character permanently loses 1 Fate point due to his ordeal, but otherwise returns as normal. If the character fails, the fallen character remains dead.
As you can see, accomplishing a resurrection is not easy! We wanted a cool piece of art to go with this bit of rules, so we asked one of our artists, Josh Dahle, to do a resurrection piece for us. And man, did he ever! Check it out!
You're going to love the other stuff Josh is doing for the book!
