[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6954701, member: 6787650"] For the past year or so I've been running it as: undead that drain max HP, drain that max HP until you take a long rest [I]and[/I] pay 100 XP per point of max HP restored*. So there's both a short term and a long term penalty, but nothing as harsh as classic level draining. It works well. Players don't take undead casually because they do still make you fall behind, but no more than staying home for a session does, so it doesn't ruin long-term enjoyment. I haven't had any problems and I don't think you will either, unless your problem is "players aren't as scared of this as I want them to be." Because this kind of XP drain doesn't produce Lovecraftian levels of fear and repugnance, which from the name "Yoon-Suin" I wonder if you are aiming for. * Creatures without XP, such as cows, simply suffer permanent max HP loss unless/until they can find some way to regain that XP. Yes, this has come up in play. The players captured a lifejammer from neogi and fueled it with cows. [/QUOTE]
