[QUOTE="Twak, post: 6253209, member: 6766511"] I am starting this campaign for my players in a couple of weeks and was hoping for some advice on Undead PCs and how to apply the Liche/Vampire templates to characters who achieve them. On meeting the requirements the template just gets throw onto their existing characters? [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I’m fine withall the special powers/abilities etc, but are the stat-boosts to be added aswell? The Liche stat-boosts are not too bad, but the vampire ones arecrazy-good (Str[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]+6, Dex[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]+4, Int[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]+2, Wis[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]+2, Cha[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]+4.).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Has anyonehad any experience with this, does it not overpower the character and leave thenon-Vampires/Liches feeling like lackeys to the main “big-bad”?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]On a relatednote I have a couple of “planners” in my group who want to play their character’sprogression from lvl 1 to lvl 20 with all the feats/multi-classes along theway.
