The punishment is a sentence of death. Not "being killed". You are to be placed in the state of death for the crime. That's why you don't get to walk away if a lethal method fails. You can keep reviving them, but they'll be incarcerated and killed again until it sticks. And I'll put the rest of the party in contempt of court for attempting to subjorn lawful punishment.

No, It's one sentence of death. Not infinite sentencing. You get sentenced, you die, you get revived? That means you served your sentence.

I'm not really looking to get into fantasy legal dispute, but I will say that you are debating the count without even touching the core of what I said: the terms of the sentencing. Being sentenced to death is like being sent to prison. If you step in and then juke out, you can't say "prison sentence over".

We don't specify term limits here because it's typically not a place you come back from.

Right, but if it was a life sentence and you died in prison, would you have to serve again if you were revived?

I guess you don't want to debate but that was just my reasoning
