[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 6649822, member: 31506"] After he's dead again, he's no longer undead. There may be a few undead creatures whose essence is utterly snuffed out if they are destroyed, but I woudln't expect that to extend to ghasts. The no undead clause is somewhat odd in Resurrection, given that it isnt present in Raise Dead or Revify and is likely an artifact from a previous draft. The fact that they ave to be willing means you couldnt say, dig up a malevolent ghosts corporeal remains, resurrect him, and defeat him easily. Given the one hour casting time, it's not like you could use the spell in combat to turn Strahd into a regular human even if the DM allowed a save or something. I think going by the 10 day timeline in Raise Dead makes sense. After 10 days, the soul is more ghast than man, and he is probably unwilling to return as a human. Even if they killed him, he'd rather remain in the realm of Dorsain or Yeenoghu, or the Dreamlands (or wherever Lovecraft's Ghouls live) in the ghoul equivalent of an afterlife. [/QUOTE]
