DCC Funeral Rites

 Hey all -- there's a great idea in the Dragonslayer RPG about funeral pyres for a fallen comrade -- but it's just trading gp spent in the funeral for XP.  It's a cinematic moment, a fallen comrade returned to join the tomb of his fallen ancestors, launched in a boat with his sword and shield, or a burning pyre reaching to the sky ... would be a great idea for DCC.

My thought, is like the training tables I've made, but a bit simpler.

Funeral Rites

     If the recovered body of a slain henchmen, fellow player character, or important figure is recovered, relatively intact, funeral rites can be pertormed.

     To perform funeral rites, it requires a cleric of at least 1^st level belonging to the same faith as the deceased. They must perform the rites within three days of the death of the figure, and may be a simple funeral pyre or an elaborate funeral with a specially consecrated tomb.  The rites typically take everyone involved all day in preparation, attending the ceremony, and interment or burial.  If a cleric is not available, roll 1d10 on the chart instead.

     Roll on the chart below, adding +1 for every level of the deceased, +1 for each 10 people in attendance, and +1 for each 50 gp spent on incense, funerary trappings, shrouds, flowers, sepulchers, or other such finery..
