[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6305226, member: 29398"] And remember, in 1e the various undead can wreck you in more ways than just by draining levels. Going just from memory: - ghouls paralyze you (save applies) - ghasts paralyze you (save applies) and weaken you via their stench (save applies I think) - shadows hit your strength score for a while (one of the very few RAW 1e creatures that do ability damage) - mummies rot your limbs away (save applies I think) - ghosts age you, by a whole bunch - ghosts also have some sort of magic-jar ability that I've never quite figured out - coffer corpses (or something similar) can teleport you all to hell and gone, hopelessly splitting the party up in mid-dungeon - revenants have some nasty ability, as I recall, but I don't remember what it is - some intelligent undead (vampires, liches, etc.) can also be levelled, and hammer you with class abilities above and beyond what their normal "race" gives them.
