However, I will not broach the role-playing difficulties again with this individual. We have decided that society will not discriminate against skeleton people—end of story. (Look, I just want to play Dungeons and Dragons.)But, he approaches healing as if it will hurt him because he is undead. I've pointed out that we chose the reborn lineage in order to avoid that problem because the reborn are humanoid rather than undead. He thinks of his character as undead and he fears healing, so I'm thinking of granting him the full transformation to creature type undead. I think this will make him happy and I want him to be happy. However, there are game mechanics that need to be considered: hit points, turning, disruption, etc. (Actually, I think he would be glad to be attacked by a mace of disruption. It would reaffirm his undeadness.)So, I'm looking for ideas. Negative channeling cleric? Potions of inflict wounds? Besides hit points, what other issues could arise and how can we handle them? Animate dead rather than raise dead?I can and will make all this stuff up, but what am walking into here? I ask the boards for wisdom.</blockquote>
