Message: <blockquote data-quote="ChristianW" data-source="post: 2823510" data-attributes="member: 40078">Animate DeadHere's a mini-review of Behind the Spells - Animate Dead I wrote for my zine...Readers of this zine know that I love the undead. My Winter War campaign featured an undead invasion of a world that had never before seen necromantic magic. Mindful of this, Iridia reader Bret Boyd sent me a four-page .pdf supplement he wrote. Behind the Spells - Animate Dead, distributed by Ronin Arts, examines the origins of one of necromancy’s core spells. In a narrative style, Bret presents the background of the gnoll shaman, Kritak, who labored to create an undead legion. Thwarted in his attempt to exact vengeance upon his enemies, Kritak the gnoll nevertheless created Corpse Soldiers, the predecessor of Animate Dead. As an added bonus, the supplement presents a new weapon enhancement - Animating. Those slain by a weapon with the animating enhancement rise as undead under the control of the wielder. Wicked!  Finally, Bret offers rules to allow a necromancer to wrest control of another wizard’s undead. In a more amicable arrangement, there are also rules that allow a necromancer to transfer control of his undead minions to another wizard.     Behind the Spells - Animate Dead is an incredible value for only $1. You get fiction, a new spell, a weapon enhancement and rules for controlling another wizard’s undead minions.
