[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5311013, member: 91608"] Being undead really sucks unless you could become Death Knight or something like that. One way would be to get him back after you res him as an NPC, but you want him to be playable. Well, other way would be to res him after you're at higher level, and have him around you, making sure to defend him - and essentially power level him. His lower level will be affecting the amount of experience points you guys get (lower CR), so you won't be as handicapped as you might think. On top of that (increase of xp), he needs less points to get close to you. Don't think of it as 4 levels behind, but rather 18 000 xp. By the time you get to level 8, he's at 5; when you hit 9th, he'd already be halfway to 7th; when the clerics are at 10th - he's nearly at 8th. From here on out - he'll be 2 levels lower, but your CR will be 1 lower as well(from level 17, he'll be only one level behind). As you have two clerics in the team, lack of power in team shouldn't be an issue ;-) Especially, if he's a martial - your CR gets lowered, so the cleric casters essentially get a bonus caster level, which is nice ;-) If that character isn't martial - consider multi-classing after the resurrection to have him use his lower level spells along with weapon proficiency.
