Right-Eye's children and wife weren't raised because Redcloak did not control the financial resources of Team Evil; Xykon did, and he wasn't ponying up three 5000 gp diamonds to bring back three of the lowest-level henchmen he had. Evil characters are neither prohibited nor even discouraged from raising the dead in the OOTS universe—nor in any other D&D world of which I'm aware, unless they specifically serve a god of Death.

The Voice of Mod: Now please get back onto the topic of GENERAL reactions to Start of Darkness, and take any specific debates to a new thread. Thank you.
