Name a cool way to permanently kill a rakshasa

[TarionzCousin]

Give it a High Holy Hairball.

 

[NewJeffCT]

In the vein of being eaten by a tarrasque, have the rakshasa's dead body crushed under the foot of a humble ant. ;=)

However, in the spirit of the blessed crossbow bolt, maybe a weapon blessed by clerics of five (or more) good religions, or dipped in holy water from five different good religions can do the trick permanently after it is initially slain (maybe by high noon of the next day, or midnight or whatever time you feel is right)

 

[El Mahdi]

Nuke it from orbit...it's the only way to be sure.

 

[Mallus]

Feed it to a dog god.

 

[LostSoul]

Ritual sacrifice to Torog.

 

[Asmor]

The rakshasa has to behead itself (although not necessarily intentionally).

 

[Piratecat]

The rakshasha is a deva who fell, right? So to kill it permanently, figure out why it fell, and sue that as a key. If it selfishly murdered the eladrin it loved, her spirit must forgive it. If it slew an evil king for greed and pride, then it must be separated from all wealth before it can be killed.

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Or borrow from other mythologies - the Rakshasha has no heart in its body, but has hidden its heart in the egg of a ruq that nests inside a perilous cave that is on top of a high mountain. To be destroyed the egg must be devoured by theappropriate Rakshasha hating God or Goddess or the God/Godess of Death and/or Reincarnation - if the latter then the Rakshasha is put back on the wheel, to start over, neither good nor evil, earning a new placement on the wheel.

One amusing conceit might be that the Rakshasha wants to return to the wheel, but the heart has been hidden away from him.

Use papershasa to cover it. It beats rakshasa every time!

 

[TarionzCousin]

Cut off its hands and feet and sew them back on the other limbs, fill its mouth full of molten silver, then bury it in consecrated ground.
