[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6786451, member: 2209"] [b]Fiend Folio[/b] [URL="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/50012/Fiend-Folio-1e?affiliate_id=17596"]Fiend Folio[/URL] 1e [b]Apparition:[/b] A victim slain by an apparition may be raised but if the body is left, or no attempt is made within one hour to raise it,it will rise as an apparition in 2-8 hours. [b]Coffer Corpse:[/b] These foul creatures of the undead class are found in stranded funeral barges or in any other situation in which a corpse has failed to return to its maker. [b]Death Knight:[/b] The death knight - and there are only twelve of these dreadful creatures known to exist - is a horrifying form of lich created by a demon prince (it is thought Demogorgon) from a fallen human paladin. [b]Huecuva:[/b] ? [b]Penanggalan:[/b] If a penanggalan kills a female victim, she will rise from the grave after three days as a penanggalan (not under the control of the original creature). If an attempt is made to raise her during that three-day period, her chances of surviving the system shock are half normal, and failure of that attempt means that no further attempt can possibly succeed - the process by which she becomes a penanggalan is then inexorable. [b]Poltergeist:[/b] ? [b]Revenant:[/b] Under exceptional circumstances, those who have died a violent death may return from beyond the grave to wreak vengeance on their killer - as a revenant. There are few who can make this journey - to do so, a dead character must have wisdom or intelligence greater than 16 and a constitution of 18: all their characteristics must sum to 90 or more: and if both these criteria are met, the chance of the character becoming a revenant after death is 5%. [b]Sheet Ghoul:[/b] A sheet ghoul is created when a sheet phantom kills a victim. If the victim of a sheet phantom's enveloping dies from suffocation (or as a result of damage inflicted, unwittingly, by his comrades), the sheet phantom merges with his body and the whole becomes a sheet ghoul. [b]Sheet Phantom:[/b] There are sufficient similarities between this creature and the lurker above to lend credence to the speculation that the one is some kind of undead form of the other. [b]Skeleton Warrior:[/b] It is said that the skeleton warriors were forced into their lich-like state ages ago by a powerful and evil demigod who trapped each of their souls in a golden circlet. [b]Sons of Kyuss:[/b] Kyuss was an evil high priest, creating the first of these creatures under instruction from an evil deity. If the worm from a son of Kyuss reaches the brain, the victim becomes a son of Kyuss, the process of putrefaction setting in without further delay. [/QUOTE]
