[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5584366, member: 95493"] I love the in game flavour about the Necromancer, however more information on the undead people themselves would be nice. As I read your description I realized it seemed less likely Mary Sue would return to her body so much as Mary Sue's body now thinks and acts on its own. This is a very "baby warforged" idea to me. One thing, they look undead right? Rotting flesh/bones showing, possibly poor looking clothing and looking like they haven't had a good night's sleep, ever. Onto the stats.. -2 CON, -2 CHA feels about right. But this is pathfinder you might want to give them +2 STR or something as well. Partial Undead Abilities - I like this, As undead they don't suffer damage as people do but still take it. I'm curious why not more undead traits? Death Resistance is good, the second part with the +4 I'm assuming is to cover the over zealous clerics? Darkvision - good Negative Energy Affinity - good Here is where we start to disagree. Slow natural healing. To my knowledge most undead don't heal naturally at all. While I can understand a certain amount of automatic healing being necessary, I wouldn't have them heal as normal people do. Not sure about the fix, I would probably keep most of this but change the flavour text to REST not SLEEP. Sorcery, why is one of their two negatives nullified as far as Sorcery? I'm guessing there is some sort of flavour text which supports this but thus far we don't have that. Given this is PF, if you want to give them some sort of bonus for being sorcerer, allow them a +1 or +2 level bonus as far as the bloodline abilities go (if they choose undead). Ensouled Skeletons do not eat or breathe, but do require sleep. Why do they require sleep? How can sleep possibly help them? Again, as I said above, REST certainly but sleep seems odd. What part of the soul requires sleep when you "are immune to disease, poison, and bleed effects. They do not suffer from enviromental conditions such as extreme heat or cold, although they can be damaged by these energy types normally." Quick Edit: What was wrong with the other two examples you gave in your OOC? [/QUOTE]
