[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5634532, member: 6674868"] Assuming the undead creature in question has intelligence, the ability to reason some way to determine an opponents strength relative to self, has any motivation to make an attack (Hunger, Hate, Urge to Kill), and self-preservation, He'd not outright attack. If possessing Intelligence, self-preservation and motivation to attack, but unable to determine an opponents strength, than I'd expect such a creature to be wary, possibly test the opponent in a roundabout way, or look for an easier seeming target. If possessing Intelligence but no self preservation and a motivation to attack, than would likely attack in a manner believed to be most successful. If possessing self-preservation but no intelligence and a motivation to attack, than likely to attack first, and after the first good hit, pull back and retreat. If lacking in intelligence and self-preservation and a motivation to attack, it'd simply attack until dead, or the opponent was dead. If lacking motivation to attack and is intelligent with self-preservation, It would most likely serve, as long as orders didn't put it within reasonable harm. If lacking in motivation to attack and is unintelligent but has self preservation, it would serve until it was wounded, than flee. If lacking in motivation to attack, is intelligent and has no self-preservation, it's likely to serve fanatically. If lacking in any motivation to attack and lacking intelligence, such as in @[URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/members/empirate.html"]Empirate[/URL]'s assessment, it would remain inert. [/QUOTE]
