[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 7806538, member: 55816"] 1) Respect the bodies. A zombie with flesh falling off isn't going to be seemly in polite society. Polished bones with tasteful ornamentation. Zombies with cured flesh and holy symbols tattooed upon them. A mummy is only as acceptable as its wrappings are fashionable. Make them look nice, make them look respected. 2) Have documentation for the bodies. Get written consent in life (I cure your daughters plague, maybe sign over the body of whoever in your family dies first?) , or perhaps approach a town magistrate for the corpses of executed criminals, purchase them with the intent to have them perform deathless restitution for their crimes and get a receipt. 3) Avoid evil colors. Black cloaks and glowing red eyes are signs you're up to no good to the common folk. You should be wearing white, or grey at worst. Make sure if their eye's glow its a friendly white light, maybe a gentle robin's egg blue. 4) Be a good person. help others, have your minions help others. If people remember how your skeletons walked into the flooding river and fixed the broken levy they're going be a little more forgiving of your sins against the finality of death. [/QUOTE]
