The creature still dies, so all those checks apply such as removing damage, conditions and attached items.  Otherwise a creature would be coming back with damage equal to its health already on it too, which would instantly kill it again.

Baron has taken care of you.  They have to be destroyed to be reanimated.

When you kill something and turn it into a zombie when it comes under your control does it retain any of the enchantments that your opponent put on it or does it lose enchantments when it dies?

So like if you fight a Grizzly and it is beefed up with Bear Strength, Rhino Hide etc etc, even though it isn't your Bear Strength can you still use it?  I presume if it has regrowth enchantment on the newly reanimated Grizzly Zombie can't use that, but all other enchants are fair game and stay on?
Bear strength, Rhino hide, Regrowth can target only living creature.

Corrode vs resilent
« Reply #33 on: September 10, 2013, 09:02:22 PM »
On the news it is stated that "This object is incredibly resistant to damage. This object ignores all non-critical damage from Attacks. Direct damage, and attack effects, occurs normally."
Under the discussion of the corrode effects of the raptor it talks about  "...Corrode is a powerful weapon against zombies as they have no natural armor and very few ways to gain any."

If the resilient zombie is immune to non-critical direct damage, I do not know of any critical direct damage how is corrode going to be effective regardless of the state of the zombies armor?

note: I found the answer.  there is a period at the end of the sentence of non-critical damage from Attacks, not a comma.  Direct damage and attack effects are a new sentence.  Thank you for reading this

You're totally fine. Direct damage applies normally to resilient creatures.

I am going to go ahead and say it: Playing with and against these zombies feels just like you think it would.

Its almost like you are playing through a zombie horror movie- they really do give you that feeling.

Then I want a Mage Wand of Head Shot! (Or a Helm of Gothos of Head Shot, actually.)
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

So what happens when my Vine Snapper devours a Necro's Eternal Servant? Like the Priest's Holy Avenger can he cast it again?

For the Druid since it says on her card she can place a vine marker "in a zone" does that mean ANY zone regardless of range or line of sight?  I'm assuming since it doesn't specify you can extend your reach and target any zone in the arena and since the vines are coming from underground presumably they could go past walls and don't have a range?  Am I reading that correctly?

I am a noob at this but I think if you click the little pic below it will make it bigger so you can read what I am asking about.

I can see the confusion. The Vine Markers for the Druid actually take up quite a bit of text.  Here is the rulebook entry for spreading vines, it should clear up any issues.

Quote
Spreading Vines
Life springs up in the footsteps of the Druid. Each Deployment Phase, the Druid may place a new Vine marker in her zone.  Or, she may instead place that marker in a zone, or adjacent to a zone, containing a Vine marker she controls. The Druid, and her spawnpoints and familiars, can use her Vine markers to extend the range of vine spells they cast.  See “Vine Markers” in the codex.

Nice, the vine marker seems a pretty cool way to extend influence and board control!

Regarding the Vine Snapper, I seem to have missed something, why would it prevent your 'special creature powers' coming back for reassigning?  I'm not sure why it would do that, but even the resurrecting zombies seems to be clear that it wipes all existing spells and conditions etc before the creature is resurrected.  Thank god really, can you imagine the tracking that would be required?!
