Jaheira got chunked and I could still revive her??

I already posted this in the bug forum, but I wanted to increase my chances of a response so I'm posting it again here... I hope that is okay mods.:

Well the subject line pretty much sums it up... Jaheira got chunked by the Iron Throne assassins and I could still raise her at the Nashkel temple. (I usually play no reload, so a chunked character is gone for good) Has anyone else had this happen?... is this a bug?

I've already confirmed that my difficulty slider was in fact set to "Core Rules", right in the middle of the difficulty slider, so that isn't it. Thoughts?

    Well my immediate thought was that you were playing below Core Rules... but that's not the case. So it does sound like a bug. Either the game showed her getting gibbed when she shouldn't have been or didn't register that she was despite the animation.

    I was under the impression that once a character is "chunked' that is the end...

    Yeah, me too... every other time my characters have been chunked (or burnt to a crisp, etc.), they've been gone for good. Who knows? Maybe Silverstar is right that the animation triggered when it shouldn't have... I wish I would've paid closer attention to the damage amount that "chunked" her, but it was a rigorous battle and my attention was elsewhere :)

    Thanks for your responses.

    I don't think I've had anyone get "chunked" in BG:EE, yet, but i did in the original and I rememeber that their portrait would get removed from the group on the right, with no way to bring them back. Things that I can think of that would permanently kill a npc...

    being petrified and then taking any damage whatsoever,
    the last amount of hp being taken by cold damage(freezing animation), think wand of frost
    critical hit taking the character down bellow -10 hp
    the disintegration spell

    So if your settings were on core and she was indeed "chunked" then that is a bug.

    Yeah, I knew something was wrong right away when Jaheira's body parts were bouncing all over the battlefield, yet her grayed-out portrait was still shown on the right.

    Thanks for the info... one thing to note, being killed with cold damage doesn't always perma-death a character, it only happens sometimes. Maybe random?... or maybe if they're killed by a certain amount of HPs?

    Another way I've seen perma-death is sometimes by fire and lightning damage, the character is like charred (burnt to a crisp, black!) and they can't be raised. That bastard Lendarn (spelling?) once permanently killed both Imoen & Minsc with a lightning bolt spell, it was brutal.
