[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7412898, member: 2209"] [b]Battle Axes & Beasties[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200826/Battleaxes--Beasties?affiliate_id=17596]Battle Axes & Beasties[/URL] Swords & Wizardry [b]Undead:[/b] The restless dead, corpses that are animated by malevolent spirits or foul magics. [b]Lich:[/b] Powerful Wizards or Faithful sometimes want to live forever, even if ‘live’ is a loosely defined term for those who pursue the path to becoming a powerful undead creature. A spellcaster intentionally pursues the path to becoming a lich, and it is a long, arduous, and irreversible path, ending with the spellcaster becoming ‘blessed’ with eternal undeath. There are rumors that some of these creatures gained this state accidentally as the result of magical research gone horribly wrong. [b]Mummy:[/b] The desiccated, undead remains are inhabited and animated by a malevolent spirit. [b]Skeletal Warrior:[/b] Bones animated by the malevolent spirit of a warrior. [b]Skeleton:[/b] The animated bones of the dead, imbued with a souless semblance of life by the spirit that animates their remains. [b]Specter:[/b] Any creature reduced to less than 0 Constitution by the touch of a specter dies and returns in 1d3 days as a specter themselves. [b]Vampire:[/b] ? [b]Wampyre:[/b] The bite of a vampire drains 2d3 points of Strength from the victim. Those reduced to 0 Strength or lower in this manner become wampyre (lesser vampires) under the control of the creator vampire. [b]Wight:[/b] The touch of a Wraith will drain 1d4 points of Strength from their victim (save for half – minimum of 1 point drained). Victims reduced to 0 Strength or lower will return as a wight in 1d4 days. [b]Wraith:[/b] Powerful, older wights. [b]Zombie:[/b] Zombies are mindless undead creatures, driven by a spirit that hungers for the taste of fresh flesh. Any humanoid killed or completely drained of strength (1 point per hit unless a successful saving throw is made) by a wight returns as a zombie after 1d3 days. [b]Zombie Contagious:[/b] These zombies carry within their bite or scratch a disease that turns those infected into mindless undead. Those slain by Contagious Zombies rise in 1d3 combat rounds as common zombies. [/QUOTE]
