Star has the right of it. It's a textual special effect for being really fast in combat. He's not the fastest by any measure -- most of the women in the Warriors are far faster than he -- but he's much, much faster than a normal.
Back to the resurrection question, it occurs to me that it's again a matter of how we approach it. Even in the original campaign it's a theurgic effect -- he doesn't resurrect, he contacts some supernatural entity who can and basically whines and begs and makes a deal until they do the raising. So using it as a benchmark is probably wrong; it probably is closer in cost to casting a resurrection spell. (As in, magery + prereqs + cost of the spell itself.)
