The first one works in a campaign that expects everyone to do the first one (and where the GM does the same for the enemies). Assuming the character is still a character when looking beyond the stats, that is.

Assuming D&D 5e rules, this is easily countered by casting Gentle Repose on the corpse every 10 days, or any other method of preventing natural decay.
True Resurrection can only create a new body if the original no longer exists.
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.
Where would that part be?
WotC has all but removed it from 5e14, it's functionally useless. But they seem afraid to remove it altogether. They even went so far as to take the obvious (and stupid) backlash for not having orcs be "always evil" any more, instead of just silently removing the alignment line from everything in 5e24.
They should have just axed the alignment system as a whole. It's been wildly misunderstood for decades (cf. every alignment chart meme ever) while being overly simplistic at the same time. And it implies a universal morality system that doesn't really work outside of dungeon crawls. It also has almost (?) no mechanical impact in 5e as is.
Might as well just assign star signs at this point, that's probably a better descriptor at this point.
Warlock 2/ Sorcerer X needs spellslots to fuel quicken spell metamagic (for more eldritch blast)
He also doesn't know what a merchant is, and just refers to himself as a sellsword.
My father started us on the first edition of the Dark Eye (from his own uni days). I started to play that with my friends when I was about 16. Another friend borrowed us his books for the fourth edition. The first books I bought myself were the revised fourth edition.
Reminds me of the list of tales of grand adventure that my storyteller bard used for bardic inspiration. It was tagged so I could find one fitting the current encounter.
Yesterday, one of my players just plain forgot that we scheduled a game.
Luckily, the party was split up doing downtime activities anyway, so we decided that they simply could not locate that character quickly (time was somewhat of the essence). Near the end of the session, the party realized that they need that particular character's alchemical expertise, giving them a great reason to actually go look for him.
HEADOFF! APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!
To be fair, if the DM allows Gestalt, they deserve whatever you throw at them.
