Revive characters

[Zidner]

I just started a new game on the original Avernum and one of my characters died. My question is simple, how can I revive him?

Thanks in advance.

Return Life spell (can't remember if walking to friendly town revived deads) but at earlier games dead chars equips and things in backpack could vanish so earlier savegame is safest.

You can use the Return Life spell (which you probably should not have, unless you've been cheating), reload an earlier saved game, or, most easily, find a healer. Healers can revive your dead characters, for a cost. I believe that Carol in Fort Duvno is a useful, nearby healer. If not, talk to people in other nearby towns. Priests often offer healing services, but not always. Oh, yeah, you can also use the character editor. Open your saved game and click the "Do Healing" button next to the dead character.

That's only for A4 or later. In the first 3 games, the only way to revive a dead character is either with a healer or cast Return Life.

Alright, thanks everyone, I'll be sure to check out Carol in Fort Duvno.
