I have a player that's discovered hoarding power over time in Runes and had the idea of dumping somewhere around 30WP into a Raise Dead spell; So the questions at hand are what are the limits here? Assuming only 1 undead of rank 29, in this case, could he spend 11 points to make undead Jimmy last over a year (each point doubles duration)? Could jimmy instead be given 28 strength for his 1/4th day of life? Would it roll all 28 d6 plus whatever gear? Does it only roll 6 base as a player maximum? I admire the fact that he wants to create a Jason wannabe i just want to make sure i handle it correctly or let him know he can't do it/limits will be placed.

That is a lot of potential for mishap waiting to happen. I would let him do it and then just follow the rules. I would also let him split the 29 points to allow him to raise multiple undead at once, all of lower rank and ability.

As long as the player knows that every time they roll on the magical mishap table there's a chance their character is gone forever I'd let it go by RAW.
