[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 341929, member: 6562"] I was picturing the areas outside the city having permanent Sympathy spells, while the city itself has permanent Antipathy spells (for the various vermin & monster types). No-one has the patience to Charm several thousand stirges -- especially given that they don't live all that long. I'd thought about this scenario, but it just didn't ring true. While I can easily picture a female necromancer, I just can't see a [i]pregnant[/i] female necromancer. Anyone giving birth in the swamp is going to be risking her life... and I can't imagine a necromancer risking her life for some stupid kid who's probably going to end up in the 'labor pool'. So sure, male & female necromancers, but disproportionately female love & reproduction slaves. Maybe ghouls can track by scent ;) If not, I dunno, can ghouls see in the dark? Permanent Darkness is good, too. Alright, here's the most evil thing I've ever thought of, and they'd be right at home in a necromancer's swamp: [b]Half-Fiend Rust Monsters[/b] -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
