This post did not contain any content.If this king doesn't have access to wizards casting every defensive spell in the player's handbook on him every single day of his life, wearing the best magical armor in the world that glamors into ordinary royal attire, with defensive wards cast around his immediate vicinity every day, and he just let adventurers stroll into his castle armed while he was being lax with all these precautions, then he deserves to get Kirked.

The king is a puppet of a dictatorial deity. The solution is to overthrow god.

It seems like any sufficiently rich person, like a monarch, could essentially have someone on staff - maybe multiple people - whose entire job is to periodically cast True Resurrection, naming the rich individual. If they aren't dead, the spell fails; if they are, they come back to life, and can name their assassin.Or they could just have some Clones.

True Resurrection can only create a new body if the original no longer exists.

True Resurrection can only create a new body if the original no longer exists.I guess this comes down to DM fiat as for what constitutes "touching" the creature. For example, what if the person casting the spell had a hair sample, or a severed finger or some other item from the monarch's body, which they were also taking any of those steps to prevent decay of? The [3rd Edition](https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/trueResurrection.htm) version of the spell is even more ambiguous. RAW, it doesn't prevent you from "unambiguously identifying" the creature through a means other than touching the body even if the body still exists.

The RAW answer would be to have someone cast Contingency + Gentle Repose, though at that point you may as well add in a teleport or something instead

Oh. I just learned about this. I have no involvement in this channel but this video was neat. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsGk9M-4dq4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsGk9M-4dq4)I thought this was going to be spam. I recommend saying what you're posting a link to. Or at least something that makes it clear you're replying to a specific comment instead of posting that at random.

Secular Smite them back, easy.
