So we know that the parasite leaves the host if the host dies. We see this at multiple instances.
Now every character starts with a Scroll of Revivify. Why can’t we just kill the characters, wait for the parasite to crawl out and revive them directly after?
I know of course this would stop the game to progress and the whole plot would stop to work… but this little plothole annoys me in a funny way :-D
Because it’s a concession to gameplay that has no effect on the plot. Why didn’t they use a Phoenix Down on Aerith?
If your party members died in real D&D, you’d have to roll up new characters, and we obviously can’t do that here.
