[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6694362, member: 12630"] I've always looked at as while undead the body is filled with necromantic energies that are animating it and preventing the original soul from returning. In order to return someone to the living that has been turned to an undead you have to defeat the undead and then cast the appropriate spell. Many undead have been that way for a very long time so you end up needing high level magics. I actually have a 5e character that has this backstory. He was a lord of a small area that went bad. Eventually he was killed and raised by a necromancer as an undead warrior to lead his armies. Hundreds of years later the heroes defeat him but accidentally pick up part of him instead of their ally that he had stripped to a skeleton. When they went to raise their friend they got him, but he doesn't remember much of his past life or the time that he was undead. Just vague memories of what he had done and memories of his spirit being tortured so he's looking for redemption. [/QUOTE]
