[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 822437, member: 4109"] In my campaign, it depends on what I feel the story needs. If I need juicy, fluid-dripping zombies, then that's what the PCs face. If I need paper dry zombies, yep, they get those too. Coagulated blood with skin the color of a clotted bruise, maggots and bits of flesh falling off? Got those. Zombies swollen with gas caused by internal decomposition, forcing a Fort DC 15 check if punctured? Oh yeah. they hated those. A skeleton tends to be a skeleton, but for flavor, I'll say it occasionally has a pice of flesh or sinew here or there hanging off of it. Vampires, I tend to see as unaging and unchanging, so they appear much like they did in life. Liches in my campaign tend to continue to dessicate and become more "deathlike" in their visage. Undead beholders are disgusting sights to behold.... So, yeah, pretty much go with the flow and whatever I think would make for a more interesting story is what gets done. :-) [/QUOTE]
