[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 1943844, member: 2673"] This is a tricky one. If the BBEG's god wants him back to life, all his followers have to do is get ahold of the body. Not even that for a True Res. That leaves either taking him alive, or using the Soul Bind trick. In either case, I'd suggest a mission to take either the BBEG after his capture, or the gem containing his soul, to Carceri. The place is the prison of the gods, and the perfect spot to lock someone away for all time. Perhaps they need to take him to the most disgusting place in the plane and cast Imprisonment. This leads to a fine adventure to lock him away, and leave the possibility of escape attempts in the future. Another idea, depending on how you interpret things. Feed him to undead, or use energy drain until he's a wight. Then have a Hunter of the Dead kill him. That stops him from coming back to unlife, but its DM's call if it also stops True Resurrection. Another idea, depending again on interpretation. True Res does have a limit, the creature must have been dead for no more than 10 years per caster level. Kill him and find yourself an alternate plane where time moves more quickly. If you can find a good one, dump him there until he's decompsed for say, 500 years. Then disintegrate the body for good measure. The only question here is does a Miracle have the same restrictions as True Resurrection? If so, then the BBEG would be forever dead. Another route - use a wish or miracle so that the BBEG would find himself in an afterlife so pleasing to him that no amount of urging even by his deity would have him agree to return. Remember, no one can be forced to return to the land of the living. [/QUOTE]
