[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 6183325, member: 6686357"] Why is creating undead evil? Why is creating deathless good? Why should I be unfairly penalized for wanting to play a heroic necromancer or lich? It doesn't. The spell says an undead creature that was destroyed can be resurrected as the person it used to be; that line is meant to explain whether a given corpse can be resurrected or not. When the spells says undead can't be resurrected, it means they can't be resurrected [I]as[/I] undead. It doesn't say anywhere that an undead has to be destroyed first to be resurrected, or that being undead prevents resurrection. That's a misinterpretation of the text that many people seem to believe, but isn't actually supported by the text no matter how you parse the grammar. You can, by the RAW, use true resurrection to create a new body even if the person's first corpse is walking around somewhere as an undead. [/QUOTE]
