[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 8942878, member: 16760"] You've just reminded me of one of the most memorable 2e campaigns I was in. We repeatedly faced this half-drow necromancer who Kept. Coming. Back. No matter how extreme of prejudice we used in killing him and disposing of the body. He kept weirdly voluminous notes on his evil plans, though, which gave us plenty of adventure fodder. Turned out he had researched a version of Simulacrum that left a corpse behind instead of snow. In 2e, Simulacra got a random percentage of the subject's levels and memories - hence the notes. The bastard literally didn't trust anyone besides himself to manage his plots! When we finally figured this out, we were like 7th level, and had fought level-appropriate Simulacra of him three times. So suddenly we realize there's an evil necromancer archmage out there, with plots spanning several continents - one of which we hadn't known existed! - and we've been annoying him. Gulp! [/QUOTE]
