[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 18891, member: 635"] I'm not sure I fully understand your questions, but I'll give answering them a go... 1) Ember (Monk6) is struck in a fight, fails her save, and suffers a level drain lowering her to 5th level. She dies several rounds later from additional wounds. If her party attempts to raise/resurrect Ember, I would treat her as a 5th level character at the time of raising/resurrection -- and deduct another level for this process placing her at 4th level. 2) Ember (Monk2) is struck in combat, fails her save and suffers a level drain placing her at 1st level. Being an unlucky low level PC facing a horrible array of undead, she is struck several more times and fails her saves, losing THREE more levels...and dies. I don't even see how this PC can viably be raised/resurrected in any useful or realistic manner. As to saves for level drains that might be made while dead -- I'm totally lost :( . Characters are supposed to make such saves at the time they are struck, even if the physical HP damage from the draining blow kills the PC. That's my take anyhow. [/QUOTE]
