Animate Dead - undead corpse


Rules Questions


If I use Animate Dead on a corpse to turn it into a skeleton and the skeleton later dies, can I use Animate Dead on its corpse?

I am lead to believe no, but if that is the case what if I used Restore Corpse on the skeleton corpse beforehand?


The Animate Dead spell explicitly says that a destroyed Skeleton or Zombie cannot be animated again, so no you cannot.

The Restore Corpse spell says that it adds flesh to the corpse, making it suitable to animate as a zombie rather than a skeleton. This implies that the corpse must already be suitable for animation as a skeleton. So no, I would rule that this cannot make a corpse suitable for Animate Dead.
