Alright, so a quick rules question here. If you are able to animate dead or create undead, could it be used to bring back an undead character that was killed?
Basically an important intelligent undead agent of our boss got killed and we need to get him moving again or we are in hot water, but I digress. I am asking about these options because according to the spell description for raise dead, resurrect, and similar is that undead can't be targets of the spell.
Raise dead: "A creature who has been turned into an undead creature or killed by a death effect can't be raised by this spell. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be raised."
Resurrection:"You can resurrect someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. You cannot resurrect someone who has died of old age. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be resurrected"
True Resurrection: "You can revive someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. This spell can also resurrect elementals or outsiders, but it can't resurrect constructs or undead creatures."
If there's any option I've overlooked here, do tell.
Thanks in advance.
Resurrection and True Resurrection are the only two options I can think of off the top of my head. Biting the bullet and paying for Resurrection would seem to be your best bet and from there your coworker can enjoy the benefits of life again for a while or get killed and reanimated as he was.
Resurrection and True Resurrection both say that they can be used on someone who was turned into an undead creature and then been destroyed, so you should be able to use those spells without a problem.
