Death effects have a spirtual side-effect, they do something to the victim that utterly prevents being raised from the dead. Ressurection can work, but not Raise Dead.Death AttacksIn most cases, a death attack allows the victim a Fortitude save to avoid the affect, but if the save fails, the character dies instantly.  *Raise dead doesn’t work on someone killed by a death attack.  *Death attacks slay instantly. A victim cannot be made stable and thereby kept alive.  *In case it matters, a dead character, no matter how she died, has -10 hit points.  *The spell death ward protects a character against these attacks. Phantasmal killer does not have a death descriptor.  It tricks your own mind into killing you. Those slain by it can be raised from the dead normally. A death effect is a direct asssault on the life force of the victim.</blockquote>
