Right, so I didn't figure I'd be ranting about something so early, but this really did bother me a bit.
I had read on the forums and in-game that the Faith Tokens would stop any further loss of XP if someone used them to respawn. Hooray! I was delighted. Now.. under that false knowledge, I respawned Lilian only to go back down to the very bottom of level 4 (and I was about 500 xp from hitting level 5). I can't be accused of ignorance, because I read the rules - and the rules themselves were in the wrong.
Honestly, if I'd known that I would lose all that XP, I would've been more than happy to lay there dead and keep both my Faith Token and my XP until someone randomly found me! Unfortunately, I feel cheated.
Here's a direct photo of how much xp and gp I lost from it.
Please, please update the rulesets so that they adequately reflect the current state of the Faith Tokens and how they work. I'm not trying to sound belligerent but I do feel like I wasn't informed properly. And thank you for listening to my rant! All the DMs have been extremely awesome to me and I don't want anyone to feel like I'm trying to jeopardize that by being a whiner.
