'''Resurrect''' is a way to bring other [[player character]]s back to life in [[Diablo 3]]. How this feature will work remains subject to revisionhas changed repeatedly during development,[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/bashiok-on-resurrection/] and may change yet more. There are minimal (or no) [[death]] penalties in Diablo III, and major changes dead players can choose to its function were made as recently as Decemberself-resurrect at the last [[checkpoint]] they reached, 2009or wait for another player in the game to resurrect them.
==Resurrection Scrolls in Diablo III==
The developers of Diablo III experimented with various Resurrection [[reagents]] during game development, including Resurrection Scrolls, but ultimately determined that the ability to resurrect other players should not require any sort of potion or scroll. The ability to resurrect is directly implemented into the game interface, and does not require any items to use.
By "running back" @Diablo refers to the self-resurrection method, which allows dead players to respawn at the last [[checkpoint]] they reached, which is usually 60 seconds or less from the spot of death (assuming the dungeon between has been cleared of monsters).
It's not known if there are any limits on resurrection; must a player be nearby? On the visible screen? Can it be performed if there are monsters in the area? Is there any limit on how many times resurrection can be performed? Are freshly-resurrected players returned with full health?
==Resurrection in the Diablo Series==
Resurrection was present in the developmental period of Diablo II, initially from scrolls just like in Diablo I; later as a skill only the [[Paladin]] could cast. One of his skill trees in early builds was devoted to [[heal]]ing, curing, and restorative abilities, and one of the highest level skills was Resurrect.
During development the Paladin's healing skills were largely removed from the game, or changed into [[Aura]]s, and Resurrect was taken out entirely; for the Paladin and for anyone else. That game feature might go the same way in Diablo 3, though that seems unlikely with it remains to be seenstill in place in early 2011.
