Raise Dead at 0 Con? [Archive] - Wizards Community

08-26-07, 10:09 AM Last night two PCs fell below 0 Con thanks to an empowered Blood to Water spell that rolled very high. The quick question I have to ask is: Is it possible for a character who has taken no damage other than Con loss to be raised from the dead via a Raise Dead spell? If he comes back with a 0 Con he's still dead.

Thanks,

B) From the Raise Dead spell:

Any ability scores damaged to 0 are raised to 1.

So, their Con would reset to 1 from the casting of Raise Dead. If they happen to be first level, they would lose 2 PERMANENT Con, which in this case would have no effect on their current Con.
