Is it possible to revive the dead?
Yes, according to all the criteria we have ever used. But they were able to be brought back before their “dead” bodies had reached the point of permanent, irreversible cellular damage. This reflects the period of death for all of us.
How many undead creatures can you animate with a spell?
This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one. At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level above 3rd.
Is the body of a dead creature a corpse?
A corpse is just the body of a dead creature as evidenced by the animate dead spell. This spell turns the bones or bodies of dead creatures into undead skeletons or zombies that follow your spoken commands. It’s clear that this spell treats “corpses” and “bodies of a dead creature” as being synonymous.
Can a corpse be raised in DND 3.5?
No. ‘Creature’ isn’t something that’s really well defined in D&D 3.5, but it seems to be a catch-all term for Monsters, Humans, Undead, Constructs and anything else that walks, flies or crawls about while trying to murder player characters. A corpse is just the body of a dead creature as evidenced by the animate dead spell.
When do you use a bonus action in animate dead?
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one).
