This is super true. Most temples have a cleric for doing minor healing or even curing disease or poison if you're lucky... but raising the dead? That's not easy and it's one of the reasons Raise Dead has a ten day limit - It's long enough to get to the next big city to have your buddy raised but it's not long enough for you to ditch his body for a few days while you recover your injuries. It's also why you need a big fucking diamond to do it; it's not the kind of thing you're going to find on short notice in some podunk town.
However, this is also one of the things I disapprove of in 5th edition. In old editions, you might not have a local cleric that is strong enough to Raise Dead but you could probably find a druid who could Reincarnate him. It was easier, cheaper, but you had the risk of coming back as something you really don't want to be, like a bear or something. In 5th, it's the same level as Raise Dead, costs twice as much in components, and you no longer have a chance of coming back as something other than a PC race in the Player's Guide. I guess it's nice if you only have a druid but it's still lame.

Huzzah! Not entirely unpredicted/unpredictable, still glad Haley succeeded in getting Crystal off her back on her own, without anything out of character or whatever.
Haley rolled a twenty on reality check.
So, that's what it's like to not use Diplomacy as a dump-stat. huh.
Nope. Charisma points go into Intimidation or Bluff. Always. (Iève never played a Paladin, or now that I think of it,any solidly morally grounded character)
Today on Order of the Stick, we learn that when a monster is trying to kill you don't call said monster a moron! Bozzok deserved death.
