in another campaign i run, a character has requested a cohort and i'm trying to think of an interesting way to introduce it. the whole "saving from enemies" has already been done and i'm kinda hoping to really make it memorable.
what i have planned, is that the cohort's group was TPK'd in an ancient crypt by some undead mere days prior to the PCs showing up, and thusly, the cohort is now undead themselves. i should mention the campaign has a very, very slight gothic horror feel, but mostly just for added flavouring.
i'm considering giving the poor girl a level in one of the undead monster classes in libris mortis, or turning her into a necropolitan or something of the like, as i'd rather her keep her personality and general alignment. for added shock, i was hoping to have her scuffle to the party, pleading to be healed, as she's "bleeding badly and needs help", only to show them hideous wounds caked in dried blood that clearly bled out days ago.
to recap those that dislike reading, i've been considering the following:
necropolitan
undead monster classes
an undead template that has little/slow alignment shift
if anyone would be able to think of something along these lines, i'd be very pleased for any input at all. thanks in advance!
I also should note that said cohort would eventually be cured/healed of her undeath, as it wouldn't be good for the group's image/reputation!
