[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 612327, member: 1457"] Sounds like you're arguing this point because you play a Necromancer and want that character to be more powerful. As oppossed to arguing the point because you think it will make the game better for everyone. Skeletons are weak. They just are. That's fine, and Necromancers are still scary, because UNDEAD SCALE UP. The MM has plenty of high-powered undead. To go with your examples: No, a skeleltal minotaur would not gore. It's mindless. It doesn't know it has horns! No, an umber hulk zombie would not hit harder. Its muscle tissue is dead and so the size of the muscles are irrelavent; only weak supernatural forces power its swings. Weak mindless undead are essentially constructs. Now, what I would think is cool (and this'd serve your purpose) is the creation of a new undead type that is basically a skeleton or zombie inhabited by an intelligent spirit. These things would be tough, would not be mindless, and would prevent PCs from yawning at the sight of them. -z [/QUOTE]
