School conjuration (healing); Level cleric/oracle 9; Subdomain resurrection 9 CASTING
Casting Time 10 minutes |
This spell functions like raise dead, except that you can resurrect a creature that has been dead for as long as 10 years per caster level. This spell can even bring back creatures whose bodies have been destroyed, provided that you unambiguously identify the deceased in some fashion (reciting the deceased's time and place of birth or death is the most common method).
Upon completion of the spell, the creature is immediately restored to full hit points, vigor, and health, with no negative levels (or loss of* Constitution points) and all of the prepared spells possessed by the creature when it died.
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.
Even true resurrection can't restore to life a creature who has died of old age.
*Errata?
This has not been stated to be errata by anyone from Paizo but it seems unlikely that a creature would be resurrected with no constitution points as the original wording suggests. We suggest that the words "loss of" are missing, but note that this is not the official wording.
This was originally reported to Paizo by Dylan Ryan in this post (06/30/10).
