My character, Hototo, was killed by orcs in the unyielding pass while wild-shaped. This was not during a quest, though I think it was a DM spawn- not sure, however. The other two who fell were able to respawn just fine, but after speaking with the NPC I received a message that said [Old Character] This character cannot respawn and must be raised manually. Please contact a DM if you have any questions.
This character isn't even a week old and to my knowledge, wasn't killed in any way that should call for a raise, unless there's some kind of script for that. Santelmo helped me out-I was TR'd and killed and told to try again, but I got the same message. I've been told that the same thing may occur the next time I die, and I might not be so lucky to get a DM again.
I will update this the next time I die to see what happens, but that's the situation right now.
Just died again, and this bug is still happening.
