Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dandu" data-source="post: 6777598" data-attributes="member: 85158">I mentioned a Communist Necromancer in <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?473688-Help-for-new-character-ideas" target="_blank">the other thread</a> as a jest. But this is actually the main villain in a campaign I wrote.The basic idea is that feudal governments are inherently flawed, and that life for the people is going to suck even under a benevolent ruler. This is intolerable; humans deserve to live free and in comfort, rather than beholden to the will of some inbred aristocrat. While there will always be burdensome toil to be done, there's no reason it has to be done by living labor in a setting where necromancy is possible. If only necromancy and overthrowing feudal governments weren't seen as unspeakably evil in most D&D settings...But then again, being complicit in the oppression of entire countries and peoples does not rest well on the conscience either... nor does condemning them to a future filled with the same war and despair as has always existed.At the end of the day, a better future will not come from individuals acting alone, for the power of one person is limited. It will not come from lords and masters, for they stand to lose the most. It will not come from gods or demons, both too preoccupied with their own squabbles and affairs. It will only come from the peasant, the serf, the common worker, those who are of the great mass of humankind. There are ultimately only two choices: for humanity to be stuck in same quagmire it has always been in, or to boldly advance into a brave new world.</blockquote>
