I've only played the first 3-4 years yet there has not been a single trader NPC of any sort, or any way to get more "custom mercs", so once I lose a companion and don't have a scroll, i'm shit out of luck.




I just feel like there is space for something clever than just a scroll here. Like being able to bring back a character by performing an out of combat ritual with different skill checks tied to the character who died. Or being able to use your class specific toolset to help in the ritual. Something that would make your whole party collaborate instead of just being there.



I'm all for skill checks, but until they decide to either fix or change how convos work, it'll be a failure. D&D is a team game yet only 1 character makes ALL the checks despite having your whole team right there. You can't make another character make a check (including another player when playing co-op), or even get an advantage if another character has Prof. on it. I can't imagine having 1 character making like 3-4 skill checks, when they might not be Prof. in all of em, giving you a much higher chance of failure.
