===Raising the Dead===

If a character who has been raised from the dead loses enough experience points that they no longer qualify for their current level, they do not lose a level.  Instead, the character’s maximum hit point and mana pool (if the character is capable of wielding mana) are both reduced by 1 per character level.  The character’s maximum hit point and mana pools return to normal once the character regains enough XP to qualify for the current level.  There is no other method to alleviate this penalty.
