[QUOTE="Tauric, post: 405360, member: 7778"] Disturbed (as a DM) of the many corpses either thrown into the woods/river or buried in a shallow mass grave, I was looking for a way to have such mistreated souls return as undead. It would work something like this: If a person dies and is not given the proper rite either just prior to dying (i.e. extreme unction) or at burial, then that person has a 5% chance of returning as undead. If the person died by violence then the chance increases to 10%. Determining the proper procedure (for clerics of a different religion) is a Knowledge: Religion check of DC 15. I may add modifiers to the DC depending on how different the religion is. In my world (a kind of b@$tardized Greyhawk), a cleric of Pelor would probably know the burial rites of a follower of St. Cuthbert, but perhaps not one of Al’Ackbar. The type of undead would probably be determined by circumstances of death. The other methods for creating undead (the spells) would function as normal. Pleas let me know if this seems reasonable to most people. I thank in advance all who reply. Tauric [/QUOTE]
