Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 4622616" data-attributes="member: 19675">Undead: you don't need to replace them.  Use them as you would normally.I don't think that a current lack of "dark casters" would significantly impact their numbers- they're not going to die off, after all- they have to be actively hunted and killed off.  Worse still, "dark casters" would be the ones most likely to have become undead casters like liches...IOW, still capable of creating undead themselves.  In addition, some non-caster undead types can spawn others of their kind.PrCls: I'd say that you could do just fine limiting them to the ones in the DMG plus a select few, chosen either by yourself to reflect the nature of the campaign (the mage-hunter types would seem especially appropriate -http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/247737-suggest-feat-witch-hunter.html), or by limiting the players to ones that appear in the books they use.  The Shadowbane PrCls also seem like a strong choice.Hexblades: Personally, I hate 'em.Bards: Why not use them?  Some consider them underpowered (I don't), and in a campaign like this, they could really shine.  Most people wouldn't associate bardic magic with the atrocities committed by the more powerful casting classes that spawned the cycle of assassinations.  In addition, they'd be the ones telling and retelling the stories about the events that led up to the killings.  And maybe, just maybe, some among their number might be the ones who do the cullings...Bo9S: I don't care for this book.Book of the Righteous: You might really want to find this book from Green Ronin.  It has a system for generating Priests and (more importantly)  Holy Knights for all kinds of religions and ethoi- no more cookie cutter Paladins!  Downside- its a 3Ed book.  Upside- converting it is simple, and from what I understand, it was updated to 3.5 as a PDF.</blockquote>
