[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 6075885, member: 40398"] I agree. Maybe this guy really is just incredibly "rules blind"...in which case he should probably be playing a simpler class, until he learns the ropes. If he's absolutely fixed on playing a caster, it shouldn't be a prep caster or any kind of theme that requires a lot of tracking. For what it's worth, this isn't a horrible idea. VoP should have been presented as an option for players who don't want to deal with D&D's Diablo-loot minigame, not as a feat with alignment baggage. There's really no harm in tweaking VoP to be a character option open to everyone. (And while you're at it, you can fix what few VoP abuses do exist -- such as the VoP druid.) Well this depends on what undead are in your group. Are they abominations resulting from soul-torture that are malicious toward life by their very twisted nature? Or are they golems that just happen to be made of corpse-flesh? (I.e., walking toasters) If the first is true, he probably shouldn't even be allowed to play an undead-controlling necro in a group of predominantly Good characters because it probably won't end well for anyone.
