The exact rational for this power will vary between characters, but their Resurrection will always depend on a Contingent Activation (as the Weakness, though it does not reduce the class of the Power) The player must choose which of these is the case with their character. Enemies who know of this contingency will most-likely seek to ensure it doesn't occur. The ST should work with the player to determine the specifics this entails. | The exact rational for this power will vary between characters, but their Resurrection will always depend on a Contingent Activation (as the Weakness, though it does not reduce the class of the Power) The player must choose which of these is the case with their character.

+ | Dots in this power effect the process in two ways. First, they allow for a faster resurrection, with the minimum waiting time being (5 - Resurrection) days. If all 5 dots in this power are taken, the character will resurrect at the end of the scene provided the conditions allow it. The second benefit is that one month per dot can pass before resurrection is no longer an option. Should conditions not allow the character to resurrect, their allies have more time to change the situation. | ||

+ | Coming back from the dead is a harrowing experience. Characters who do so will need to roll for degeneration. If the death was particularly disturbing, the ST may impose a penalty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the character with this power does not have the Ageless Merit, they will still die of old age if the Chronicle lasts long enough for this to matter. | ||

+ | Death's Toll - The character doesn't come back whole. Perhaps they resurrect with crippling amnesia (penalty to skills and some merits) or the body of a baby (penalty to attributes and size). Whatever it is, it's a hassle, but the Storyteller always provides a way to restore the character even if it isn't convenient or obvious. | ||

+ | God Machine Chronicle Rules Update: If using the update, Resurrection should qualify as a Breaking Point each time it is used, until the character rolls an exceptional success on the degeneration roll. Coming back to life is almost certainly a reason to take on a Condition. | ||
