I've made a few changes to what happens to field exp and {{PRel|scroll}}s when a character dies. Upon death, it will still look as though all is lost, but if you are brought back to life through {{PRel|Resurrection}}, {{PRel|Murrula's Flames}}, or {{PRel|Spiteful Rebirth}} then you will gain back a percentage of lost field exp, and have a chance at remembering lost scrolls.

For Resurrection there is a boost to both the exp gain and the spell scroll percentage based on the number of {{PRel|favor}}s you have. The bonus does cap out, though not until you reach a fairly healthy number of favors. Yet again, a good reason to carry a bunch of favors. The skill of the cleric will not matter for this particular boon.

MF has a slightly better set of percentages, and the range it provides is based on the potency of the cast. Prior to this update MF did not use a potency score and would always split potency values into duration and integrity. 

SRE for now has a set percentage of exp saved, as well as chance for scroll saving. Special thanks to GM Abasha for the messaging SRE uses during this process.

This is live in Plat and Prime, and will move on over to TF assuming it doesn't explode.
