An NPC that was the best friend of one of the PC's had fallen in a battle with a wight. The NPC ended up rising as a wight and then attacked the party. (Which was so horrible to that PC, in particular, that he refused to attack her and lost some levels in the process... (she was shouting about how he caused it to happen and stuff, cuz her undead hatred of the living perverted the way she felt--freaky stuff LOL)) The other PC's dispatched her, emotionally, and they all took her to a large city nearby to hopefully get her raised from the dead.
My question is: Can someone who has fallen into the ranks of the undead be later raised from the dead? At the time, I ruled that a Ressurection spell would work, but that a Raise Dead spell couldn't. I really don't know how this would work and I can't find anything on it. I think I remember reading somewhere that it works that way, but it would be very unlikely as they are usually unwilling to return once they have changed to the undead (Her character was very concerned about a doppleganger which was hired as an assassin to take over her father's identity to help with a nearly bloodless coup of the city by a neighboring city. So, I figured that was reason enuff to come back to life--to at least make sure her father was okay.).
It would be nice to know how I *should* be handling this, cuz my campaign has alot to do with a cult to a forgotten, vampiric dragon-god (but don't tell them that! SHHHH! LOL :P). I'm sure they're going to face alot more level-draining undead. MUAHAHAHAHA *grins evilly*
Do you all think I handled it correctly? What suggestions do you have?
