[QUOTE="ro, post: 7187533, member: 6890747"] Here's the real fun: "If [the raven] is slain by a creature, you gain advantage on all attack rolls against the killer for the next 24 hours....The raven vanishes when it dies, if you die, or if the two of you are separated by more than 5 miles. ...At the end of a short or long rest, you can call the raven back to you—no matter where it is or whether it died—and it reappears within 5 feet of you." If you-the-raven drop to 0 HP, presumably you have to make your death saves to see if you actually die. If you do die, then you-the-raven are slain and you gain advantage against your killer for the next 24 hours; otherwise, you are both alive. But when you-the-raven dies, the raven disappears. But you [I]are[/I] the raven, so you would disappear. That will make it hard for you to be resurrected. But, what happens when you die? If you cease to exist, you are out of luck. If you go to some other plane, then you can take a rest there, and call your raven back to you there. But what about the raven? The raven is "a spirit sent by the Raven Queen" and "you can call the raven back to you—no matter where it is or whether it died", which means that it is the same raven, the same spirit from the Raven Queen. When the raven dies, the spirit does not: it goes to the Raven Queen awaiting its return to raven form. So, if you die in raven form, you would go to the Raven Queen! And you wouldn't be dead, just lacking a body. The trick is, how do you get back if you aren't there to call the raven back? I suppose that is up to the Raven Queen. [/QUOTE]
