This does not need to involve killing them, just placing them in a postion where they can do no more harm. Subduing them and turning them over to authorities works just as well; you get the same amount of XP either way. Depending on the situation, you might even get more. You also get XP for meeting story goals as well. These are not optional or house rules; this is stuff right in the DMG and most recent adventures.You could easily come up with a campaign that involved the destruction of the undead as it's focus. I've played in one, as a matter of fact. Almost every single monster we killed was eithe dead, or something trying to kill us first. (There's actually a great thing in Arcana Unearthed called spell templates. One of them is acquirred through the Peaceful Mage feat: it turns all your spell damage into subdual damage. Excellent for dealing with foes you want to capture and question.)</blockquote>
