How does "Death Pact" work

[CheapToad1]

I thought I'd be able to raise myself. But, I seem to be wrong. Please explain how this is used.

You cast it as a start of quest buff. You get a con penalty for doing so. If you die, it gives you the option to raise yourself.

an once you raise urself you must rest before you may cast it again........

note: casted this, tested it with /death, recasted, re-/deathed, didnt get a raise option....

Didnt explore this anymore but is it a possible bug with the spell?

I have since removed it from my mem'd spells. I might have to bring it back as now in my cleric career solo loot runs are quite possible and death during those is just frustrating.

This is exactly what is happening to me. There is no option to raise myself.

Personally, I "like" :rolleyes: how you can cast it, get d/c'd, then come back to find the good part has been removed but the death pact ward remains. That's real slick.

well recasting without resting won't work, as per the spell description.

And where did you /death? If you did it in quest it would have removed you from the quest, therefore no option. If you did it in a tavern the tavern would have self rez'd you, thus no option.

Your testing method sucks. Go into a quest/wilderness area, cast it, let something beat you to death or hop in some lava

Spell works fine, I use it all the time as a backup.

/death doesn't activate it for some reason it works if you die in a quest tho

[CheapToad1]

I was in a quest when I used it.

I was in a quest when I used it.

Why not let something kill you, then? Instead of /deathing

[Belwaar]

I always use it and the last time I actually had to raise myself, it worked. (Was a couple days ago)

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Death Pact does not always work BTW.

Especially if you die in a trap. :(

And yeah.....DC...lose buffs....keep neg con. :(

[Strakeln]

It works in a trap, but it auto-rez's you (no "do you want to accept" box).

[ddoer]

does it work in PvP?
