[QUOTE="Krug, post: 2011472, member: 2141"] Necromantic Lore was the second of Fantasy Flight Games' themed monster sourcebooks. It's now available from DriveThruRpg.com for $5, which was just too tempting to pass up. It's jam packed with undead, and FFG have really stretched their minds to come up with interesting creatures. Not everything works but there's some exceptionally interesting monsters in this supplement. The 'hits' - Atrocity Wight - Reminds one of a creature from a Clive Barker short story; composed of multiple rotting corpses Necrocorn - An undead Unicorn Bloodseeker - Undead wolves who hunt down those whose blood they have tasted Famine haunt - Undead that leaves their victim starving Forever Jack - A template; basically for thiefs that have cheated death Horrid Murder - A murder of crows gathered together to... well the name says it all Necromentals - Undead elementals, though I think the concept could have been pushed further Pestilent Queen - Undead Ooze Charnel Wagon - Construct made out of undead parts; seen similar concepts in other necromantic books and Warhammer The 'not so hits' - Heirloom Wraith - Spirit attached to an object Warning Spirit - Blah; as its name says Unvanquished - Undead whose skill have not been surpassed; example given is a chess master. Good, I guess, but not too inspiring Dancing Bones - as name suggest... Internal art is consistent and gives atmosphere to the creatures. There's nothing startlingly fantastic, but it is pretty decent work. Necromantic Lore, being one of FFG's earliest products, shows the great imagination and creativity that's been maintained in most of the company's products since that time. At the original price of $14.95 I'd be rather tentative about the product, but at it's present sales price of $5 for 64 pages I'd heartily reccomend it. The undead are quirky and imbued with enough weirdness for them to be interesting additions, and you can build an adventure around some of them. [/QUOTE]
