[QUOTE="Jabborwacky, post: 6864228, member: 98608"] Something I've been debating internally for a while is whether the Hallow spell cast on Strahd's resting place with eternal rest would prevent him from resurrecting after being defeated by the player characters. The spell does allow a charisma saving throw, but only to those who are "entering the area." Its unclear how Hallow's "Eternal Rest" effect interacts with an automated version of the create undead spell, which is essentially what the dark powers have set up for Strahd. I can see it being argued either way, although I'm generally leaning towards complete negation with no saving throw. For one, the players invested a huge deal of resources just to cast the spell, and there is the question of who exactly is making the saving throw. Strahd is in limbo, and him coming back as a ghost kind of goes against the whole "eternal rest" bit. The dark powers are trapped in the Amber Temple, making it questionable as to whether they can do much at all about the situation. [/QUOTE]
