[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9538401, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/28709/Serpent-Kingdoms-35?affiliate_id=17596]Forgotten Realms Serpent Kingdoms (3.5)[/URL] 3.5 [b]Bone Naga:[/b] A bone naga is a skeletal undead creature created from a naga by a spellcaster (usually of its own race). A create undead spell can produce a bone naga from any naga subject with fewer Hit Dice than the creator. “Bone naga” is an acquired template that can be added to any naga. The minor subraces known as banelar nagas and bone nagas both appeared within the past two millennia. The former resulted from a magical ritual that the followers of Bane employed on water nagas, and the latter were the products of dark naga experimentation in the ebon arts of necromancy. To gain control of the nagara, the Myth Drannan lich Druth Daern perpetrated a complex deception. Speaking through a wraithlike apparition that he created above a certain Myth Drannan altar, he claimed to be Ssharstrune, the Ghost Naga—a long-dead naga god. With Daern’s unseen help, the Ghost Naga revived the nagara who had not survived the thornbacks as bone nagas to serve their living kin. [b]Dark Naga Bone Naga Sorcerer 6:[/b] Created by a rival hundred of years ago as a guard, this bone naga despises both its master and its condition. [b]Deathflame:[/b] The deathflame template is the same as the death knight template, except that it can be applied to monstrous humanoids. [b]Chassan, Fireknewt Deathflame Fighter 5/Rogue 2/Blackguard 8, Firenewt Death Knight, Firenewt Overlord, Leader, Overlord:[/b] During the Time of Troubles, Kossuth appeared in the Burning Rift beneath the Peaks of Flame and chose a firenewt blackguard named Chassan, overlord of a local tribe, as his avatar. Kossuth/Chassan led the firenewts into a brutal war with the pterafolk of the Chultengar, and the conflict lasted until the Avatar Crisis had ended. Kossuth returned to the planes, leaving the charred corpse of Chassan in his wake, but the god later rewarded Chassan’s loyalty by allowing him to return to his tribe as a deathflame. During the Time of Troubles, Chassan served as Kossuth’s avatar. The Flamelord’s divine essence was too much for his mortal form, and all that was left of the firenewt after the god’s departure was a blackened husk. After Kossuth returned to the Elemental Plane of Fire, however, he transformed the charred remains of Chassan into a deathflame.

A handful of Isstossef spellcasters embraced a form of lichdom in an effort to preserve the legacy of their empire at any cost. [b]Fallen Archlich:[/b] ?
