    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.

      The king is a puppet of a dictatorial clergy, the solution is to burn the church down with the clergy and monarchy inside.

                Assuming D&D 5e rules, this is easily countered by casting Gentle Repose on the corpse every 10 days, or any other method of preventing natural decay. 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.

                      Nobody would rule by birthright in a D&D world. Any leader of a country would have access to Clone, and would have no need for inheritance.

                      Funny thing, there was a 2e setting called [Birthright](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthright_(campaign_setting)), which pretty much made the game about developing land as a lord, rather than dungeon delving

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

                            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.

                                  There definitely should some spells that work like that tbh, it's a classical trope of curse magic.

                                    Once those items are removed from the body they become a separate object. Maybe useful in divination, but not touching the body. If this were true the party could just cut off some hair hand it to the cleric and all their touch spells would be infinite range.

                                          This really gets into the foundational expectations of the setting. In a reality structured to allow for Heroes, a leader *must* be one, or else be replaced by the next one to stroll through.
