Raise Dead
Why, when we are raised from the dead, do we come back naked? From what I understand of the spell, your spirit is basically forced back into your dead body. Is there a process where the priest derobes the body before raising them that I am missing, or is this just a code change that would be too time-consuming to implement, and people just roleplay that the person comes back naked because codewise, they do?

Re: Raise Dead
The protocol for raising the dead has been long discussed on this forum (for example: here). I cannot speak to the feasibility of fixing the issue codewise, but I can say that I generally do not role-play putting my character's clothes and armor back on after death. I just do it. I consider this similar to the old saying, "Just because the code allows it, doesn't mean that you should do it". Just because the code makes your corpse naked doesn't mean that this actually happened in character.
