Note, that undead use their charisma score in place of constitution for most game purposes.

Do the 'shades' of 1e/2e still exist in 3e/Pathfinder, btw.?
Well, charisma doesn't equate likeability, it's the more general effect of your force of presence/personality. Note, that it's also used to intimidate people which generally doesn't result in people liking youso they will be playing evil, yet extreamly likealbe, undead? XD

1. Don't simply give your character the option to play an undead, rather ask him to choose a normal character and create an adventure around how and why he will become an undead.
its not that the players want to be undead charicters. its that i want the campain to be ABOUT undead charicters. as in starting out as them.
So, how did the necromancer happen to have dead adventurers handy?SO, he uses what little power remains in him to raise up some dead adventurers, making them both intelligent, and player characters.
*headdesk*
I CANT have them start out as living creatures, as it would completely ruin the story!
The point of the story is that an evil necromancer's artefact(s) of power have been stolen from him, leaving him week, and unable to command the massive army’s of undead as he once did. SO, he uses what little power remains in him to raise up some dead adventurers, making them both intelligent, and player characters. These undead PC's must now go out and seek more objects of power for their master before going out and retrieving the one that was stolen from him by paladins. Less they all crumble to dust and cease to exist.
Now, personally, I don’t see any room for the players to make living characters and go on a few dozen adventures together before finally making it to the actual PLOT of the whole thing. You don’t start lord of the rings by telling us about the childhood of Souron’s parents, the audience doesn’t care about them! They care about Sauron! And the Ring! You cant tell a story about a time were they don’t even exist yet and call it the same story!
Now. I would REALLLY appreciate it if someone would actually help me with the questions i have been TRYING to get answered since i started this thread!
Are these templates balanced against normal, non-homebrewed creatures and races such as humans and goblins? yes or no?
if yes, HOW DO I FIX IT!? I.E. "reduce the Int bonus of race X, and maybe add a racial bonus to Z, maybe something like "*insert racial bonus here*". That should even things up"
I need NUMBERS here people! If race X is over powered, TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT! do NOT just say "y3a da7 0n3s B4d, 0ki3 g'b!e Na0" actually help me with the issue!
