Ways to reanimate dead characters

[Baumfluch]

Hi there,

one of the chars in our party died. I´m looking for all ways to reanimate him that require a classlevel of 11 or less or less than 30.000 gold.
So far i came up with:

Raise dead and reincarnation.

Do you have any other suggestions?

[The Sideromancer]

"Reanimate" might be the wrong word to use. It has much more connotations to necromancy than something like "revive."

Otherwise, include various methods of undead creation, dependant on how much you want to preserve class features.

[Coidzor]

Create Undead can bring them back as a Skeletal Champion, Zombie Lord, or Juju Zombie with their levels and abilities.

Breath of Life can bring them back for free if you can cast it within one round and they haven't been killed by a death effect and they haven't suffered truly massive damage.

Cyclic Reincarnation is like Reincarnate, but it's the same race and looks like they did, either identical or very similar.

[Matthew Downie]

Raise Dead is the standard choice for this situation. You can remove negative levels with scrolls of Restoration for 1,700gp each.

A scroll of Resurrection cost 12,275gp.

Constructing a Flesh Golem requires caster level 8th and 20,500gp, if you'd rather reanimate them in the Frankenstein sense.
