[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 2416776, member: 23619"] Sorry. I must have glossed over that among the mind-numbing 2-3 pages of garbage that has been going back and forth because some of the people here are arguing over the wording of a power when they know the actual intent behind it. Still, if you check out the Ravenloft PHB, it does have some good mechanics in there for handling situations like what you've proposed, whether you're in a Ravenloft game or not. There's no D&D mechanic for it, but polymorphing into an undead is one thing, but shapechanging into one (actually becoming one) is something that should pose a risk to the character's mental health or overall sanity. If you do have hordes of clerics and paladins around, maybe that would then become a problem to that PC in question. And you can substitute what I said about "Darklord" for the local ruler of the place. The actions are still logical. Someone wipes out a village, the local ruler darn well should take notice! If you are still looking for solutions to the problem, want to update the board as to what is currently going on, I'll still look in on this. But reading that Bob, Bill, resurrection garbage was worse than a waste of time--I could actually feel brain cells dying as I read it. So, I'll stay away from any more of that. [/QUOTE]
