[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8464757, member: 2209"] True resurrection has some odd wording. If you kill an undead creature you can resurrect it within 200 years of the time it died, and it comes back restored to its non-undead form. I think the intent would be for the original creature death, but the wording seems to me to be RAW the undead creature death bringing back the undead creature but with the twist of the non-undead form. TRUE RESURRECTION 9th-level necromancy Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a sprinkle of holy water and diamonds worth at least 25,000 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: Instantaneous You touch a creature that has been dead for no longer than 200 years and that died for any reason except old age. If the creature's soul is free and willing, the creature is restored to life with all its hit points. This spell closes all wounds, neutralizes any poison, cures all diseases, and lifts any curses affecting the creature when it died. The spell replaces damaged or missing organs and limbs. If the creature was undead, it is restored to its non-undead form. The spell can even provide a new body if the original no longer exists, in which case you must speak the creature's name. The creature then appears in an unoccupied space you choose within 10 feet of you. It is an oddity in a narrative sense that undeath would work as a preservative for purposes of True Resurrection though. This means Merlin should secretly animate King Arthur's fallen body as a zombie in order for Arthur to be true resurrected in the far future to meet England's greatest need. [/QUOTE]
