[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5539881, member: 27897"] But just HOW is that 'undead creature' a part of the party? It isn't necessarily about the character being evil, as much as it is about it being unnatural. The characters who are morally opposed to the idea of the undead aren't necessarily against them, based on an alignment difference. I could perhaps see such characters seeing a need to help a treasured friend, to overcome his 'curse', but how do you explain the vampire who just walks into a party (pardon the expression) cold? It just ain't gonna happen. At best, he'll be turned away; worst, he'll be set on fire. That's not "turning on a member of the group" because he most definitely isn't a member of the group, in role playing terms. You're making an assumption that the vampire somehow has ties to the party that simply don't exist, unless they've somehow been built. I would say that it's the duty of the player who wants to play such a character, to come up with a reasonable background as to why he would be accepted. Oddly enough my experience with "Vampire: The Masquerade" had the completely opposite effect, on my belief in the invincible vampire. The characters were the weakest things around, aside from regular humans. I lost count of the number of times that other vampires or weres tossed me through a wall, leaving me inches from torpor. No matter who you are, there's always someone tougher. *EDIT* Oh, and spam reported. [/QUOTE]
