    I never got to play this character very long, but I had this idiot rich draconic bloodline Sorcerer whose parents had hidden the fact that they were a Tiefling from them.

    As far as they knew, they were a half-orc with a skin condition, born when their father was shamed and banished, and their mother was swept off their feet by a gallant orc of the hinterlands. (lol, no, the parents are evil AF demon worshippers spawning teiflings into the bloodline, and they’re too dumb to realize it. No hot orc babydaddy to speak of)

    They cut off the tail and cauterized the horn buds really early, and basically the plan was to see if they discovered the Draconic Bloodline before or after getting hit by a strong enough healing spell to restore their demonic features.

    They probably wouldn’t be able to understand the idea that they could be both part demon and part dragon, and part Good aligned and part Evil aligned creature, to boot. Comedy gold in the right party.

      Pretty sure a cancerous growth is a mortal wound. Those get closed.

    So, what happens if you resurrect an 80 year old human. If they’re an amputee, they get their limbs back… but is it the limb as it would appear on their 80 year old body? Or, the limb as it was when it disappeared?

    Imagine an 80 year old with a 20 year old’s forearm.

    Also, how healthy does it make you? Are you as healthy as you were before you died? Or, are you returned to perfect health? Or very good health for your age?

    How does it affect dementia? Dementia is eventually fatal, but I don’t think it counts as a mortal wound.

    Also, if it closes all mortal wounds, what about non-mortal wounds? Say Bob died by falling off a cliff. He’s resurrected, and he gets back the arm that he lost decades ago. Meanwhile his other arm is completely shattered, but not in a mortal way. The rock that was piercing his chest disappears and his massive chest wound is gone, however he’s still bleeding from a dozen small cuts, none of which are mortal on their own, but taken together will cause him to bleed out in a few minutes.

      I’m thinking about this, does it read the hormones you have?

      Or is it full fantasy it reads your soul?? Now that will be great no more doubting, just contact your local necromancer for a quick regeneration spell !

    Ritual scarification and trophy scars might also be at risk. Piercings definitely will need redoing.

        I’ve got a new idea on how to keep the big bad from being resurrected, just gotta give their corpse a cute little heart piercing! When all the flesh regrows around it, the piece of metal installed there will quickly re-kill them.

        One of the joys is that top and bottom surgery are necessary only in a world without magic or magic-level tech. Trans folk in worlds with resurrection spells don’t get surgery, they drink a potion or wear a girdle, and get a really rather complete transformation, including the capacity to bear / sire children.

        Will resurrection reverse a magical sex-change transformation? Depends on how the spell works out how to restore you, and if the sex change is material or a magical construct, like an illusion.

    • I suspect it would undo labiaplasty and appendectomies. Ressurection seems to be a fresh install of the corporeal OS. I suspect bodybuilders would be disappointed while those who live with obesity would be pleasantly surpised. Heredary cancer, previously treated might restore itself.

      If Resurrection is open source, a branch might detect and accommodate body / identity conflicts and detect and fix hereditary conditions. Talk to your referee and temple high priestess to see which resurrection is right for you, and be sure to file an advance directives document to inform your fellow party members and resurrectionist about your post Resurrection intentions.
