Guess I didn't link my Lucid Dreaming rules in the rules thread, did I?
10+3x the level of the spell desired
costs a number of Dream Points equal to twice the level of the spell being reproduced (same link).
And finally: Each Dreamer or Dreamwalker has a number of Dream Points equal to their ranks in Lucid Dreaming, or to their highest mental ability modifer, whichever is higher.

So you'd be able to reproduce 6th level and up spells/abilities, if you beat the DC (which shouldn't be a problem).

[VennDygrem]

Couldn't resist.

[phaedrusxy]

It's really good you didn't botch the roll, also, since I don't think you can use Revenance more than once on the same corpse, right? 

[VennDygrem]

Actually, according to dndtools, the spell has no such restriction. The corpse just can't have been dead longer than 1 round per level. If Raoul gets killed twice in the span of a minute, then he's getting his fool ass Reincarnated.

[Kuroimaken]

I am about to deny Ris-Janna the satisfaction of payback AND creep the HELL out of you guys in one swift post.

[VennDygrem]

I'm just trying to get the action back on track ASAP.

[Kuroimaken]

Just call me David Carradine.

...too soon?

[VennDygrem]

So where are we headed? I keep forgetting if we're in the past yet or if that part was supposed to come after killing Dingus.

If it's still the "present" we can still head back to the Hells so as to rest up (and try contacting X again). If not, well, then we'll need somewhere else.

You're definitely in the past. You went through a time portal in limbo and popped out in Faust's office.

It doesn't really matter. But I have to call bullshit on the idea of the just revivified Raoul being able to garrote himself to death before RJ could do something horrible to him. RJ's reaction time (in terms of init bonus) is almost three times as fast as Raoul's. I think lethal auto-asphyxiation would require a hanging setup like Carradine's. And lastly, the mention of payback was given telepathically.

Agree but it doesn't really matter. Hell, it's not like she couldn't stab him a couple of times while he was choking himself out, either.

[Agita]

True, but indeed doesn't much matter. That said, I don't think this iteration of RJ has yet been harassed by Raoul to the degree RJ 1.0 was.
Not that she wouldn't gladly (and messily) eat his arm in front of him or something.

[VennDygrem]

Yeah but RJ 2.0 has all of RJ 1.0's memories. Still, as mentioned, it's a moot point right now. Where are we headed?

[Bozwevial]

Anywhere that's not the Dreamheart, for starters. We should probably make a few jumps just to throw off Mary Poppins if she heals up and tries chasing after us, and maybe take a few precautions against scrying as well. Then I think we'll want to find somewhere relatively safe so Cade can actually take that nap. I think the possibility of Hades or Gehenna was mentioned on the grounds that both places are so awful no one would want to go chasing us there.

[VennDygrem]

Those might be just as bad though, right? I don't know, what does everyone think?

How afraid of time paradoxes are we?

[VennDygrem]

We're far enough in the past that I probably haven't been acquainted with "Dad" yet. Might make some trouble, or it might make for a fun interaction and actually spark his attempt to have tracked me down in the first place.

Did you guys have an encounter where one of you (Raoul, actually) got close to his "Time clone", and saw what happens? Or did I just imagine that/have it in the secret backstory in my head?...

I'm pretty sure I at least mentioned it (or should have)... Basically, if you get within a mile or so (I think I have actual rules on this somewhere...), you start having headaches and the closer you get the worse things get, till Bad Things^TM happen if you get within around visual range of each other.

[Agita]

We had two Raouls within line of sight of each other in Myth Drannor, I believe. There was lightning involved or something.

[VennDygrem]

He basically started hemorrhaging from his brain. Well, his everything,  as his cells probably could not reconcile being in two places at once.
