The Undead

[Rechan]

This might overlap too much with the stuff you're currently using, but, In the game Dead Space...

[sblock]The monsters are Necro-recombinators. They take dead flesh and assimilate it, or reshape it into new forms. It's very much "making organic monsters with dead flesh", because they breathe and bleed and such. (Although there is one monster that literally sticks a probosis into the brains of corpses, re-animating them into suped up brutes). The flesh is also taken and converted into cocoon-like structures, or organic stuff that grows everywhere, making the environment more accommodating for the monsters.

In general, in order to kill the monsters, you have to actually sever their limbs.

It's more involved (a hive mind monster, an artifact that draws the influence of the hive mind, etc), but you get the jist. It would be suitable for an aberration species, or at least an aberrant entity.[/sblock]

Here's a minion for your evil undead wizards to send at your players!

Description

This kobold is obviously dead, with rotting flesh and exposed bones. Its body pulsates oddly, and strange liquid leaks from its mouth and eye sockets.

Kobold Corpsebomb Lore

A character knows the following information with a successful Religion check.
DC 15: This undead kobold is a corpsebomb.
DC 20: The kobold corpsebomb explodes when it dies.

nice idea, but why restrict it to seppuku? i'd say all those who committed suicide get cursed with even worse undeath than the others... something like screaming wights, forever feeling the pain of their deaths.. very feral and very reckless, they want to die AGAIN... stats anyone?

Fair enough, but the point of my idea wasn't an undead state for someone who committed suicide. The point is to have an undead whose intestines snake out and attack at a distance. Just imagine the cold, wet organ wrapping around your face (and then trying to eat your face through the intestines) and you'll get an idea of the effect it's supposed to have.

To incorporate your idea, however, I can see the same person spawning two undead: one zombie and one spirit. Still, it could be interesting to see different types of undead spawn from different methods of committing suicide.

IIRC, Mad Wraiths are the result of suicide.

Intestine-wielding undead is getting pretty close to mhorgs, though, so you'd have to find a way to flavor them as suicides... Maybe they have a charm power that causes a character to make an attack against himself?

The table of contents looks interesting but it is all that is there.

Happy holidays

I have joined a campagain run by the party fighter, it looks goblinish so my group won't be meeting quite as much.

I will be away on vacation for about 2 weeks in a few days so I will be away from the computer.

Bye people
