Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirt" data-source="post: 1151347" data-attributes="member: 6209">In my current campaign, one of the most colorful PC's passed away (we even took a whole gaming session playing out the funeral).  In my campaign, I allow a character to be raised once only.  Well, now I find myself regretting that rule.  So, it has been a few months now since the character died, and I want to bring him back as a free-willed undead.  The PC's will be contacted by someone that they know, who would like them to discretely look into the disappearance of their former companion's corpse from the crypt.  They will later discover that their companion's body wasn't taken, but that he walked out of his own accord (this will be after much questioning, mysterious clues, and strange happenings in the poor district of town colloquially known as the Gauntlet).So, now that we know a little of the story, I need some suggestions for a custom undead template.  I'd like some suggestions on the special abilities, benefits, and harmful traits.  Obviously, we have the typical immunity to charm and mind control, immunity to poison and disease, immunity to critical hits, harmed by positive energy, and healed by negative energy...but what else?  Any other suggestions?  Oh...I should also note that I don't plan on him opposing the group.  In fact, I intend for him to join the group again.  So, keep that in mind when making suggestions for special abilities...Help me brainstorm!Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
