[QUOTE="Allanon, post: 820393, member: 8513"] As I said, it depends on whether you allow magic to maintain there current status. But in the real world if you open an ancient tomb you probably won't find any skeletons or half-decayed corpses. In a fantasy world where the real world has no power all could be different. In my campaign normal necromantic magic like animate dead produces undead with limited life expectancies. An ancient tomb with no inhabitents will not contain undead guardians of the skeleton/zombie variant without them having special preservative magic or alchemical processes applied to them. So yes in my campaign undead 'die', they're bodies become so decomposed that the necromantic energies that animate them fail and fizzle. Only special undead like vampires, death knights, liches and the like 'live' on, their bodies kept 'fresh' because of the more powerfull necromantic energies that animate them. [/QUOTE]
