Effects of Ressurection

[Aluvial]

I have a few questions about Ressurection. If you cast the spell on a character, does that character get back expended uses of daily activities, like Turn Undead checks, Rages, or Stunning Fists? The spell says that it restores the character to full health, spells and vigor. What does vigor cover?

Since vigor here isn't a game term but purely descriptive, it covers whatever the DM wants it to. I'd allow the character to be resurrected with things like Turn Undead checks available again if unused when the character was slain, but not reset if expended. Note that the spell says it raises you with no loss of prepared spells. So a caster who uses some of his prepared spells, dies and is then resurrected, will have those slots still empty.

The reference to vigor is obviously a sex thing. Stop Shilsen before he posts again!

No, you don't get to kill yourself for more uses of once per day abilities.
