Oh this is where the title goes?
Well I would say there are still at least two rules-defensible interpretations to the whole thing:
- You could say that the raise dead etc spells take precedence over the vampire effect, and they bring you back with 1 hp.
- You could say the spells bring you back at 0 hp, then you need a restoration to remove the vampire effect.
Of course it is also defensible to say that the exact wording of the rules isn't important, it is the overall picture of how the effects work that we should look at. On that basis you can argue that the vampire's instant-death effect is like a disease which neither revivify nor raise dead remove, and so you die again immediately after the spell is cast.
