[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 6885567, member: 6818233"] Just opening up the Monster Manual to Vampire, Wight, and Wraith, all of which have special attacks that do some form of life drain, it specifically says the maximum hit point reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest, but if the attack reduces hit point maximum to zero, the target dies. Same with the Demilich, except that with it's attack, it does not mention rest at all and only says the reduced hit points can be recovered with a Greater Restoration or similar magic. So it sounds to me that being reduced to zero max hit points is death, no death saving throws, no stabilizing, no healing. And recovering lost max hit points requires a long rest unless the attack specifically says something different. As for bringing a character back to life from being reduced to zero max hit points, unless the attack that did it says differently, I do not see why a raise dead or revivify would not work like it normally would in any other death situation.
