Skill: If you have Hellspawn, normal respawn always goes to Valhalla

(and equivalent for other alignments)

It's just inconvenient to say 'I will spawn in Cordillera today' and end up in Stygia anyway, without the benefits.

That would go a long way into making the skill more worthwhile. Signed.

I'd rather make regular spawn have an even chance to pop the character into any non-home plane (ie: Demons with Hellspawn have 33% chance to spawn in Ely/Purg/Cord with regular spawn)

I feel like the skills, as they are, would be worth more picking up if they at least put you near your SH (if they're on that plane) or allow you to pick a neighbourhood of your choice. As they are you get a minor buff for respawning in Ely/Sty/Purg when there's a chance that is already a thing that could happen.

Picking which plane you always get to spawn in is pretty good too.

This was tested last breath and in like, 1-2 days people started dying and respawning near their Stronghold in order to feed the Liches with corpses.

Hhhh
I don't think it'd be good to allow anyone other than Redeemed/Fallen to spawn in a opposed plane.

Oh... yeah that seems pretty abusable. But still outside of a buff and spawning in outer planes it's not really giving you all that much, and I can't think of a way to make it more attractive. Maybe if the Respawn Buff was an item you got and you could activate it within the next 2 days to gain the benefits instead of on spawning?

Yes, I meant within the same planes as they're currently set.

The point of these skills is to encourage and reward outer plane respawns, so allowing folks to have 100% control over spawning in Valhalla is not the intended direction. What needs to happen is you still get the discount and bonus if you click the regular respawn button and end up in your outer plane anyway, that's where this hurts across the board. This is the same feedback I gave here.
