Hi, guys!
We are playing real epic level now (17 lvl, 3 mythic tier), and we have really intresting question:
If your character is buffed by, for example "Haste" spell or "Bear's Endurance" spell, and have been killed (brought to -CONx2)... Buffs are all gone? Or not? How does it interracts with breath of life? What about raise dead, resurrection? What about bonded legendary items (character brought to life with "breath of life" counts as DEAD or not for broken bond)?
Thanks!
It is great, thanks! But what about DEAD creatures and bond?
What about breath of life?
And what about buffing the corpse? Can I make Boris a very fast corpse when he is a corpse, not when he is alive, to than raise him up with haste?

Magic already cast on a valid target does not care if the target becomes invalid later. It will continue to consume duration and attempt to affect the target, but for most spells like Haste, the result is a spell effect that does nothing.
Example: Boris is hasted. Boris eats a sword and is dead. Boris is now a very fast corpse. But Boris, he has friend. Friend raise Boris from dead! Boris spits sword out and stands up. Boris haste still going! He chase down villain who make Boris eat sword and make him eat sword.
Do you actually have anything official saying that? I'm more curious than anything. Our group has always played if a character dies all on going effects that target creatures specifically ended as the target was no longer "valid" as a corpse isn't a creature. I would be interested if PFRPG actually ruled on this.

Once you are dead, you are an ITEM (a corpse). At this point, any "personal" or "person" or "creature" spells would cease. If some spell requires concentration to maintain, obviously it is gone. Just my opinion, but the way I usually rule things is that if you fall unconscious most of your spells end (some, with extended duration don't - like sleeping with Endure Elements on). If someone else buffs you, and you are unconscious, unless they fall unconscious too, the buffs remain. Which means that if you took a potion, it's effects wouldn't wear off until the duration ended.
The only reason I do this way is primarily historical. And things like RAGE and other "buffs" end when you go unconscious. So I just rule that personal spell effects end if you cast them and go unconscious (including buffs on other people). But if someone else buffs you and they are up, you still have the buff (for whatever help it is to someone who is KO'd). If you become furniture (dead) then all buffs end that don't effect items.
Ok.
So, the spell can not actually target a corpse like a PERSON, but buffs still works after your death, your corpse will be lighted with magic auras untill spells are gone. If spell targets OBJECT TOO, you can benefit from it even when you are a corpse, for example :)
Thanks!
There is no rule to see if you the spell only checks once or if you must continue to qualify. This is really a GM call. I have seen it played both ways. Neither one is really bad. I would suggest deciding as a group. Just remember the bad guys get the same benefits.
