Volourn is the RPGCodex official mascot and so is unfortunately unbanishable.
I personally always thought it was stupid that in BG your MCs death meant auto end of the game even if you were surrounded by perfectly healthy and steadfastly loyal allies who'd raise you without a second thought. Hell, Arrie was in love with my character and she had raise dead on her spell list. I mean, after all the shit I went through to save her after she got turned into a fucking vampire slave she sure as fuck better be willing to cast a fifth level spell on me! They don't even cost anything in BG2!
I also thought it was pretty stupid that even though you had a spell like raise dead it could only be used on party members. The only game I know that didn't have that arbitrary limitation was ToEE, though they didn't actually make any use of that.
Er, actually I remember resurrecting some people who weren't in my party in Arcanum. Just how many people could you do that to and how many times did that actually matter? I'm pretty sure I distinctly remember being unable to do it to the crash victims when I cheated.
