Partial Resurrection (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

"I'm back, only slightly worse for the wear."

The hero has a limited form of immortality that allows him to come back from the dead a number of times equal to the hero's PE attribute. Each time the hero returns, he loses a point of IQ, MA, ME and PB PERMANENTLY, loses any bonuses from physical skills to PS, PP, PE and Speed until he can select them again as secondaries (meaning any bonuses from such skills as Wrestling, Boxing, Acrobatics and Gymnastics are PERMANENTLY lost unless the hero regains them through further education), and he suffers -1 to all combat moves for 2d4 weeks as he regains his coordination.

Coming Back From the Dead: The hero can recover from grievous bodily injury without dying, although he will appear to be dead. When the hero's Hit Points are reduced from a range of zero to 130 points, he is racked with searing pain and collapses into a coma for 1d4 months. When this time elapses, he returns with 4d6 HP and 3d6 SDC. He cannot survive being decapitated, incinerated or atomized, however, nor will this power regenrate limbs. He must heal back any other damage, though he does so at twice normal rate.

Other Bonuses:

+2d6 Hit Points
+4d6 SDC
+1d4 PE
+20% to save vs. Coma/Death
Heals at twice normal rate
