You call the target's soul back to its body, which must be present and relatively intact. The target must have died within the past year. If the target's appointed time has come or it does not wish to return, the ritual automatically fails, but you learn this after the successful Religion check and can end the ritual without paying the cost.

Degrees of success

Critical Success: You resurrect the target. It returns with full Hit Points and the same spells prepared and points in its pools as when it died, still subject to any long-term debilitations of the old body. It meets an agent of its deity during the resurrection who inspires it, granting a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, Perception, saving throws, and skill checks for 1 week. The target is also permanently changed in some small way by its time in the afterlife, such as a slight shift in personality, a streak of white in the hair, or a strange new birthmark.
Success: As critical success, except the target returns with 1 Hit Point and no spells prepared or points in any pools, still subject to any long-term debilitations of the old body. Rather than being inspired, it is left drained by its time in the realm of the dead: it is clumsy 1, drained 1, and enfeebled 1 for 1 week, and these conditions cannot be removed or reduced by any means until the week has passed.
Failure: Your attempt is unsuccessful.
Critical Failure: Something goes horribly wrong. An evil spirit possesses the body, the body transforms into a special kind of undead, or some worse fate befalls the target.

Heightened

6th: You can resurrect a target of up to 12th level, and the base cost is 125 gp.
7th: You can use resurrect with only a small portion of the body, and the ritual creates a new body on a success or critical success. The target must have died within the past decade. The ritual requires four secondary casters, each at least half the target's level. The target can be up to 14th level, and the base cost is 200 gp.
8th: As 7th rank, but the target can be up to 16th level and the base cost is 300 gp.
9th: You can use resurrect even without the body, so long as you know the target's name and have touched part of its body at some time. The target must have died within the past century, and it does not gain the negative conditions on a success. The ritual requires eight secondary casters, each at least half the target's level. The target can be up to 18th level, and the base cost is 600 gp.
10th: As 9th rank, except it does not matter how long ago the target died. The ritual requires 16 secondary casters, each at least half the target's level. The target can be up to 20th level, and the base cost is 1,000 gp.
