[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 8981314, member: 6787650"] It turns out that one of the nastiest things you can have a bad guy (e.g. lich) do is go around Wishing for Resurrection of the PCs' enemies and introducing them to each other. Say hello again to that beholder, that clan of fire giants, those mind flayer arcanists, and that ancient white dragon... all at the same time. (The bad guy can even Teleport them all on top of the PCs.) You don't really need the sword to counter this effect (just burn all the bodies to ash and throw the ash in a volcano) but the sword is more convenient, albeit overpowered. How WotC can create a big centerpiece magic item (horn of Beckoning Death) which is totally underpowered compared to the very next incidental item in the same article is beyond me. Couldn't they see how bad the horn was? You could at least make it turn them into Shadows or something. Zombies are something Szass Tam could create in any number of ways, no elaborate plot needed. The movie was good but WotC's write-up is low quality. For my Film Reroll in Dungeon Fantasy RPG I'm upping the horn to a 700-point Manastone, and upping Beckoning Death to create living shadows called Demons From Between the Stars (i.e. GURPS-ified Shadows) instead of zombies.
