== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
* In [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World_:Brave New World (role-playing_game)playing game)|Brave New World]] characters gain super powers by undergoing a near-death experience while in mortal danger.
* In the ''[[Pathfinder]]'' tabletop game, being born dead and then coming back to life is one of the possible origins of a sorcerers powers.
* ''[[Geist: The Sin Eaters (Tabletop Game)|Geist: The Sin Eaters]]'': As mortals, Sin-Eaters typically have some sort of connection to fate or the world of the dead (represented by glimpses of ghosts or strange hunches). Once they die, however, a [[Our Ghosts Are Different|geist]] offers them the chance to come back, and when they accept, they gain access to a whole suite of powers.
Line 136:
* In ''[[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IV]]'' this happens to a few bosses. When you kill {{spoiler|the Earth Fiend Scarmiglione, he comes back as a zombie, attacking from behind}} or {{spoiler|Dr. Lugae, he comes back as a cyborg}}.
* This is how you beat {{spoiler|Izanami}} in ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'', with a little help from [[The Power of Friendship]].
* Before the events of ''[[Tsukihime]]'', Tohno Shiki has the ability to see "things which are hidden". When he is killed and brought back to life, this mutates into the ability to ''see death'', allowing him to cut anything by tracing its "lines of death" or destroy anything by stabbing its "point of death". This manages to be [[Story -Breaker Power|even more overpowered than it sounds]], but Shiki has to wear [[Anti-Magic]] glasses to [[Blessed With Suck|prevent going mad]] (besides the obvious reasons, just looking at a "very immortal" character for too long can cause brain damage).
** Ryougi Shiki in the earlier ''[[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature)|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' gains a stronger version of the same ability when one of her [[Split Personality|two personalities]] dies, leaving a hole to "Origin" in its place. {{spoiler|Effectively her new second personality is the universe itself, and possesses unlimited power}}
* The Nameless One in ''[[Planescape Torment]]'' sometimes regains memories after he dies and comes back, which can translate into more experience points, and hence more power.
