[QUOTE="Axel, post: 5321977, member: 93196"] Is the player set on playing as a Wizard or Sorceror? The most acceptable use of necromantic spells and zombies that I've heard of being discussed comes from a cleric of Wee Jas. Now, to the argument: - The character was lawful neutral and made no value judgements. Things were either within the law, or not. Surprisingly, most laws make little mention of zombie creation being illegal (see if your national laws prohibit it!). - The character viewed people and creatures directly attacking him as, firstly, breaking the law and thus able to be killed in his self-defence. - People and creatures that attacked him, a representative of Wee Jas to the world, also attacked Wee Jas. Thus, they must server penance until Wee Jas was satisfied. - Penance was served by reanimation of the body. It was a fantastic argument for non-evil necromancy and legions of undead. The character was played to the hilt...before level 5 he performed the "rites of the dead" on any and all things killed that had greater than animal intelligence. LN clerics of Wee Jas also channel negative energy, so he could control his minions... [/QUOTE]
