[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4539377, member: 23977"] Why use a person when you can do it with a robot? Computers handle lots of customer service tasks, but ultimately for the weird problems, they use humans. "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that, please hold for the next available representative..." Same is probably true in the highly profitable undead slave world. Only so much a zombie minion can handle before having to pass you through to it's more concious allies. Lots n lots of ways to play this one... It's got a pretty low intelligence so maybe they all exist together in a cloud of confusion constantly struggling to figure out what the heck it is? Maybe the ritual kind of creates an entirely new "conciousness?" Maybe it's just powerfull enough to sort of grab hold of some "soul matter" and make a conciousness, but nowhere near the level of power a god could make... so again why it's so dumb... It's soul just isn't right... Maybe it's got a sort of split personality... Fun for encontering it at difefrent times... At one point the dominant soul is semi helpful trying to give you tips on when it's master will be most vulnerable, but then reverts to a concioudness that clings to any form of life no matetr how horrible.. and instantly thwarts those tips it gave you... (fight club dragon!) Maybe it just uses the soul of the most recently dead dragon part.. or the soul of the most powerful dragon in the list of parts... Maybe the intelligence is again so low because the soul exists only partially there, and partially in the realm of the dead... eprhaps tortured, and trying to find a brave group of adventurers to find it's physical pressense and put an end to it...
