@Commenter sorry for the belated reply! You needed to have a 'The' in my username to correctly ping me! :3 It's
The Dragon Lord (no spaces), not simply
a Dragon Lord. 😅 I'm
special! (cough) "Special alright… a special pain in the ass is more like it…"
Well, (cough)
anyhow,… to your query! :3 Typically, in D&D settings, one could use a resurrection for general times, and if the body is destroyed, then a "Wish" or "Miracle" would be necessary. Since these are typically the final echelon spells for magic users, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to have access. That said, that's a
meaningful and
plausible explanation of no über level resurrection spell takes place. That said, I find it odd that those limits would be the case in an MMOJRPG precisely because if one was fighting a big boss, having the person get nuked by a boss would be a total wipe on hardcore. Unless there was some mechanism by which this was used, it might act as a deincentivise towards gameplay, which would limit players spending frequent time in-game. I could see it as a mechanic, but it isn't at least from the MMOs I'm familiar with a common feature. In D&D it is, but in that game there is by definition means around it. My question would be if there was here.
Also, the larger issue pertains to all of the other people killed who
haven't had their bodies destroyed to that point. What's up with them?
Well, he's more than that and may well be a mage too. As for mind control powers, in D&D version 3.5 in the
Book of Vile Darkness there exists a spell called "Mind Rape" whereby a mage or cleric (mind you, this is
typically considered an
evil spell only to be used, typically, by "evil" aligned characters—I have an ongoing philosophical debate as to whether neutral good or chaotic good characters could use it on evil or chaotic creatures to give them a conscience, delve into their past, undo their trauma, and "fix" them) which by a single touch enables a person to gain total access and knowledge about the person and change every feature of them, their memories, their personality, alignments, relationships, etc.
Under sucha circumstance, an evil character
could, at least, hypothetically, be transformed into a lawful good character.
There are also control undead spells and other cleric necromancy that can control the minds of folks. Monks and other meditation based classes also have been known to possess mind control abilities (beyond mages). Cleric often gain these powers through their affiliated deities. He could also have a summon (or multiple ones) whose focus was on mind control. He's not simply a warrior, but a cleric, paladin, sorcerer/wizard, summoner (typically requires one to be a sorcerer with the exception of Final Fantasy with Yuna), Pope (upgraded cleric/priest), some form of super upgraded pally, amongst other classes. It was somewhat implied that he maxed
all classes in order to get where he was.
