We're talking impressive rituals, components, and will as the major ingredients for creating them.There is also some debate about the idea of victims of Mummy Rot turning into mummies themselves. We have reports of emaciated bodies attacking at known mummy locations but without the traditional trappings of such creatures. Such a transformation is possible, but not confirmed at this time.Skeleton: We have seen talented mages and priests create skeletons from the smallest piles of bones.Spectre: Spectres do both physical damage and drain life experience from their victims. If killed, these victims will become spectres themselves.Let's get the ugly part out of the way. Why are these creatures so very dangerous? They can steal your life essence. Entire years of experience, gone without a trace. And if they take enough, to the point where you forget yourself entirely, you become one of them, a minion of the spectre who killed you.Wights... could it be that they are in fact ghouls who have starved too long without flesh? What could this possibly mean for these types of undead... is there an evolution over time? As they gain life force from their victims, do they also gain in strength and become... wraiths? spectres? Worse?Every hit by a spectre causes a drain of 2 levels in addition to normal damage. When the victim is reduced to less than 1st level, he becomes a spectre under the control of the one that killed him.Vampire: Each of these evil creatures is descended from Cain, cursed to forever walk the world thirsting for the blood of innocents.Legends whisper of the original vampire of sin, Cain, the first vampire cursed to walk the lands as undead. All bitten by Cain inherited some of his power, but the blood thinned out over the eons.Anyone killed by a vampire becomes a lesser vampire under the control of their slayer.Wight: Any victims drained to the point where they forget themselves entirely become wights themselves and under the control of their new master.Wights... could it be that they are in fact ghouls who have starved too long without flesh? What could this possibly mean for these types of undead... is there an evolution over time? As they gain life force from their victims, do they also gain in strength and become... wraiths? spectres? Worse?Crypt creatures of little substance, wights drain 1 level from any victim struck. If a character is reduced to zero levels, he dies and becomes a wight under the control of his killer.Wraith: With a touch, they will drain your life experience. If they drain enough, you will become a wraith under their command for all eternity.Wights... could it be that they are in fact ghouls who have starved too long without flesh? What could this possibly mean for these types of undead... is there an evolution over time? As they gain life force from their victims, do they also gain in strength and become... wraiths? spectres? Worse?Zombie: They are most likely animated pawns of evil Clerics or Magic-Users typically set to guard a location.Animated corpses created by an evil Cleric or Magic-User.</blockquote>
