[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7050379, member: 2209"] [b]Dragon 198[/b] Dragon 198 2e [b]Ka:[/b] Once, the ka was a noble, king, or pharaoh. After death, the mummified body continued to live on in the tomb as an undead monster. [b]Angreden:[/b] An angreden is the walking corpse of an individual who died under a curse, or who was so filled with hatred and anger in life that he refused to lie still in his grave. [b]King-Wight:[/b] A king-wight was once a powerful evil king. When he died, he became undead, continuing to rule the ranks of the walking dead. His death is often voluntary, a self-sacrifice made to gain a prolonged existence. [b]Wraith King:[/b] Wraith-kings were once powerful individuals who so feared death that they made unholy bargains with an evil god. Each individual believed he was gaining immortality, but was instead turned into an undead monster. A wraith-king became undead as the act of an evil god. [b]Vartha:[/b] ? [b]Wight:[/b] Any victim completely drained of life points by the king-wight becomes a full-strength wight. [b]Wraith:[/b] A wraith-king can drain life levels by gaze alone at the rate of one level per round for any one victim within clear view in a 30. range (the victim must save vs. death ray each round to avoid this effect). Any victim completely drained of life levels becomes a full-strength wraith under the control of the wraith-king. GURPS [b]Undead:[/b] Victims of the Mad Lands gods who are denied proper funeral services may be resurrected as undead spawn. [/QUOTE]
