I just find myself hoping someone turns nale into a suit of armor. Maybe a hat. Craft up the bones, stick the soul in it, enchant the bugger, +3 plate mail of smug victory. Sounds like a good way to keep someone from coming back, that.
This just gives me an idea around building a character who has been resurrected several times, and all of his equipment is made up of his previous leftover body parts, many of which are enchanted.

Self-skin cloak, self-skull-helmet-of-strength, bone-sword made from own bones, etc. and so on.

Belkar's kobold-head headgear not good enough for you?

Was it an enchanted +2 kobold head helm of idle sadism? No? Then no. Not good enough.

It's not like the Empire got a single cleric.

I somehow greatly doubt they're going to revive him with any of the 100+ revival methods that probably exist.

This is why my group always bans revive spells other than Revenance and Revivification, since they're more temporary or situational. After level 10 or so, death is no object.

Now THAT'S what I call a revenant.

....I had a thought. Can a vampire cleric "raise" themselves(maybe using true resurrection, or miracle)???

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

No. The undead form of a person must be destroyed before any kind of resurrection can take place.

Contingency on (true) resurrection triggering when your undead self is destroyed. Bam, raised yourself.

That's a hell of a contingency plan. Can you loop those together?

I don't think a negative energy being could prepare such a high positive energy spell.

Technically, you can, except that one's on the Cleric list and one's on the Sorcerer/Wizard list. This can be avoided with a scroll of Contingency and a good Spellcraft check, or, for cheesier methods, use a quirk in the rules where a Cleric (with the Scribe Scroll feat) can scribe a divine scroll of an arcane spell if he has someone else cast the spell for him.

Nope, doesn't matter in the D&Dverse. There isn't any rule saying Conjuration (Healing) spells are barred for undead, and it's on the general cleric list.

I'm completely satisfied with this turn of events.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
