That is one of the attributes of evil that these mindless undead rarely exhibit. Instead, it is up to us to do the cleansing of this world.""The thing to remember about zombies is that they are slow. They can move, or they can attack, but it is rare that they can do both - unless you allow yourself to be caught in close range to them. But they do pack a punch - and I speak as an expert in punching!""It occurs to me that we who are travelling together would be well served by developing some tactics against these abominations. For example, as I've said, zombies are slow. In the time that I could move 30 feet and attack, they can only move 15 feet, if they want to attack as well. So the key to combating them is to stay out of their reach. My longspear is useful against such as these. By the time they have moved past it, and come to grips with me, I can launch two or three attacks against them. But my attacks would likely be not enough to drop them, so I have to be careful to attack, and move, and then attack again. Otherwise, I risk serious hurt from these lumbering brutes.""Your razor edged crystals, flung against them, can slice deep into their corrupt flesh.""Skeletons, on the other hand, are much more lively. Not only can they move as fast as I, but they strike twice, with foul, corrupted claws. I can do the same, but in that time you might launch only a single attack. Edged attacks have but little effect on them, for the bones of their structure are not vulnerable to slicing damage, whereas our frail flesh is all too open to the ravages of their foul touch.""Against such as these, look for other, blunter weapons - shatter their bones and they fall into dust."</blockquote>
