If you still have the character's portrait on your screen, then you can raise him, anywhere, any map. However, if he took a hit that sent him below -10 hp, well, then his body does the exploding thing and you can't raise or ress the person if you leave the map. The exploding body thing also happens when you get disintergrated, turned to stone and then hit, and a few other deaths. This will cause the portrait of that character to disappear off the right side of the screen.

However, the portrait won't disappear until after you leave the map, rest, etc. So if you cast a raise dead/ress right after the death, you can bring those people back. A good reason to always have scrolls for raise dead/ress on you.

Lastly, the race that Wulfere refers to that requires Ress is elves. Can't use raise dead, gotta ress them.
