tired of the undead . . .

[pogre]

Undead are so lovely for GMs as well. No explaining where they get food and water and all that...

I'm the player with the falchion.
Critting stuff isn't that high a priority of mine... I still haven't rolled a single crit threat in the entire campaign, even with the 18-20 crit range. Go figure.
However, I'd like to hit things more often. The dicebot has been rolling obscenely low for me.

As for wanting to go to Shelzar... Oh, yeah!

I was trying to be nice Ni. Besides the dicebot WAS with you last tuesday.

Undead? The undead are a major force in my campaign... go read the comic in my sig to see the first one. Trust me, things get worse from there. Although the paladin certainly kicked butt for a while; that's what they were made to do, after all.

PS: Guen is a survivor.

I don't mind undead in general. I just don't like D&D vampires. Never use them. It's like they are a bad joke in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Undead can be a great way to bring old characters into a new campaign.

Here is the background for a game I am going to be playing in shortly:

Voadam, a mid-high level character with very high stats and tons of magic items last was left in Ravenloft where having temporarily defeated a renegade vampire lord he accidentally triggered an artefact of the lord's which opened a rip in space-time and the planes (that's how the last campaign ended).

He arrives to see a human in plate mail with a glowing sword fighting what looks like a hundred wights, spectres, wraiths, and other assorted spirits and undead lead by a lich who looks really peeved as if his dark ritual to summon an extraplanar evil artefact was disrupted by a crusading knight and all he was able to summon was another living human. The undead swarm Voadam and drain away lots of levels and stats and he is able, in desperation to hit his rod of wonder with a lightning bolt from his rod of thunder and lightning and trigger a magic item chaos explosion that takes out most of the undead (including the lich's material form). Voadam is dragged back by the paladin Sir Halogen (a PC in the new game) and brought back but too late for stat and level recovery.

So now he is about the same level and point buy as the other PC and is at the right power level for the new campaign thanks to the undead! Plus it makes narrative sense, provides some plot hooks, and I get to play one of my favorite characters again.

San, just to clarify it's only one of my players. The other two (a paladin of Madriel that wants to hunt undead and a ranger/rogue of the Vigils) seem to be having fun. He, the half-elven fighter, seems more interesting in being able to crit stuff with his falchion. Doesn't mean he's a bad player, I just think he'd like to dish out more damage as a 6th level fighter.

Just throw some living (and weird) enemies in there for him then...maybe some acolytes and clerics (with evil and/or death domains..) if you have access to Relics & Rituals...then you could throw in a Crypt Lord or two...cause they are still alive..

Me, I'm tired of undead. Of course, I've rarely used them, but that's beside the point. There are much more amusing monsters for me to play with

undead

one of my players and I were walking the other day and decided to do a mind excersice with the physical excersise. here is how it goes 1 person picks a topic and the next starts with the 1st letter of the alphabet and picks somthing in that topic that starts with "a" next person goes to "b" and so on. I picked undead and without the books we were ablt to come up with somthing for almost ever letter of the alphabet. (I think we missed only 1 or 2)
undead of all power levels - you have gotta love that!
