Since I havn't read your entry, bare with me, incase you've allready used this stuff.1) Undead have no con (we all know that). So, Stinking Cloud is beautiful, in conjunction with them. Having vials of Trog musk in their bodies, that burst when they're struck. 2) As mentioned allready, insects that live in the corpses, bursting free. Done to death.3) Skeletons make perfect bombers. A Firetrap on a skeleton's jaw, and instructions to charge the enemy and open their mouth... Paticularly Evil when used with small animal corpses.4) Subdual Substituted spells. Need I go on? 5) Mongoose Publishing has a Necromancy book. Inside is a prestige class that basicly allows you to graft things onto others; parts from creatures. This could equally be done to undead. Imagine a ghoul or zombie with carrion crawler tentacles, Beholder eyestalks, barbed tails, limbs, etc.6) Undead drenched in oil, with Fire protection spells. 7) Combined with 6, vermin exosceletons that are filled with alchemist fire. The joints would be stuffed, of course, and simply a fire would turn them into walking bombs.In the Creature Catalog, there's an Undead Ooze. Basicly an ooze that's feasted on the remains of an undead, and therefore ended up polluted. That could be fetched.I've had some other ideas, just to toss out. Looking at T&B, at the Blood Magus. A vampiric blood magus with charmed or pet Stirges. They lurk,and attack, while he waits near by. When they've drained some blood, they'e trained to fly back to him. Then, he kills them, or milks them. That drained blood, he uses for the 10th level Blood Magus ability. I don't know if that'd fit Your concept, but hey, someone else could use it. Something I did a while back: Animated some mice skeletons. Strapped a caltrop onto each mouse spine. Poisoned it. They were directed to run under anyone's feet that came near. They use a touch attack, often on a surprise round.Oh, and in Hollowfaust, they had the Undead Ballista. The arrows for it were semi-aware, and had vanes on them that the targeting system could basicly fix. So, if they missed their intended target, they got to roll again on a -1, to hit someone 5ft from the origional target. If that missed, they rolled again for a -2.Note, I'm half asleep as I write this, so more ideas pending.</blockquote>
