Fugue Residence - 4 weeks and counting

[MrSmith]

I have an 11th level Warlock/ Hellfire Warlock who worships Baalzebul that has been stuck in the Fugue for well over four weeks. Unfortunately, there is no option for him to self-rez... and his corpse resides inside the Fugue and is therefore not discoverable by anyone wishing to bring me back to life.

Is this a function of the fact he worships an Archdevil... Or, is it something mechanical?

Thank you!

Cheers,
MrSmith

If you worship a dead god or something else, like an archfiend, you need special feats for that:

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title ... _Dead_Gods

Characters who serve a heresy, dead god, archdevil, demon prince, or who are Faithless can no longer self-rez by default, and they cannot be resurrected with the Raise Dead or Resurrection spells by default. They can still be brought back with Stabilize, Bloodstaunch, Revivify, or Recall Spirit, up to the maximum of 5 minutes (Stabilize/Bloodstaunch) or 10 minutes (Revivify/Recall Spirit) after death.

Heretics with the Heretic of the Fallen Feat, dead god worshipers with the Servant of the Fallen Feat, archdevil worshipers with the Disciple of Darkness feat, and demon prince worshipers with the Thrall to Demon feat can self-rez and be resurrected normally. Faithless characters can never self-rez or be raised if dead longer than 10 minutes. This only affects heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters, characters who follow all other gods continue to play normally.

Wish and Miracle can be used to bring back heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters who have died after the 10 minute maximum, with DM support.

Thank you! So... basically, I have a well-kitted 11th level toon that is incapable of any form of resurrection without DM assistance?

correct, that fact is well warned in the deity-picking section of character creation
your PC is dead

[MrSmith]

No sugar coating. Epic delivery of the facts. Thank you.

Cheers!

Hello there,

I can probably help you since my character can help all who hurt no matter who they are.

We will however need to send a request to the Dungeon Masters still.

Let me know if that helps,

Cheers,

Ashenie

There is a big, bold, red-letter warning about it in the deity description when selecting an archfiend as a patron deity. In addition, a popup message appears when you log in for the first time after creating an archfiend-worshiping character.

Without the feat tax, such characters are, functionally, quasi-permadeath characters.
