A revenant possessed greater physical strength and a stronger force of personality than they did in life. Along with the usual differences between the undead and the living, revenants were also impervious to the effects of acid, gases, cold, electricity and polymorphing. Accompanied by their resistance to non-magical weapons, this all made revenants particularly tough physically.[6][5]
The "lifespan" of a revenant lasted only until they slayed their killer or killers, or about half a year, whichever came first. After succeeding in its mission of revenge, the revenant crumbled to dust. As long as its task remained unfinished, the revenant slowly decayed and would finally fall apart after about six months. In either case, the restless spirit animating the corpse was able to move on to the appointed afterlife.[4]Revenant Articles
