Message: <blockquote data-quote="Upper_Krust" data-source="post: 9714582" data-attributes="member: 326">Okay my memory on such matters is super-dodgy but I vaguely recall:Skeleton < Wight < Lich < Demilich < Akalich (aka* Shadowlich)Skeleton < Wight < Death Knight (aka Draugr) < Cimeriel (Wight Emperor) < Murder MistGhoul < Vampire < Vampire Lord < Nosferatu & VarcolacZombie < Mummy < Mummy Lord < Hunefer < Welkin*No pun intendedFlicked through a few old notebooks from 2004 ish.Its basically 4 chains: Bone (which splits between martial Death Knight and Caster Lich), Blood, Flesh and Spirit.Each gets a 'King' version for the Epic Tier.Then there is a 'God' version which is a combination of two chains: ie. Bone + Spirit = Akalich, Blood + Flesh = Welkin (something akin to a Vampire Intelligence).I also recall triple versions which were known by the absent force (ie. Bloodless Ones = Flesh + Bone + Spirit).There was also a side chain of Sunshadow, Starshadow and Moonshadow. Plus the likes of Rust Revenant. Also there were Ghost, Zeitgeist, Nervengeist and so on.At a later point (in around 4e) I had Nosferatu (as Goat-riding disease-ridden Shadowfell Vampires), Varcolac (as Feywild Vampire-Werewolf types who had mutated plant forms), Strigoi as (Abyssal Vampires) and a few others who escape my memory.5e is a tad different with LOTS of new Liches in every plane/dimension (I created 30 or so), plenty of new Vampires (especially in Barzakh; the new Plane of Fear; where most of the locals are a type of vampire serving the Crimson Lords/Primal Fears) and lots of crazy undead Skeleton types in Byss.</blockquote>
