[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3265592, member: 4937"] You can. Though it would be I think showing a poor imagination to do so. Instead, you could sing: "Get out you old wight! Vanish in the sunlight, shrivel like the cold mist,like the winds go wailing, out into barren lands far beyond the mountains! Come here never again! Leave your barrow empty! Lost and forgotten be, darker than the darkness, Where gates stand forever shut, till the world is mended" Which is how one other author who has some small amount of respect had his Kalevala inspired character turn undead. Or you could actually show a bit of creativity and sing your own cuplets. And if your party is asking you to 'turn undead' when your character has never done anything of the sort, their players are doing quite abit of metagaming. Sure you do. Every time you cast a spell. Flavor is your perogative as a player. I'm not going to tell you how to play your character. All I care about as a DM is that you maintain the mechanics and stay in character (assuming your character is one that reasonably could exist in my game world). Anyway. Like I said. You think a concept is 'what I can do', and I think a concept is 'who am I'. We've never come close to bridging that gap, and I don't see alot of sign that we ever will. [/QUOTE]
