Some will be kept and some will be ignored or retconned. But the general rule is still a constant undead = evil. That's nice. But exceptions to the rule are still exceptions.I'll take your word for it. Just means Eberron salvaged a tacked-on idea and decided to make it a part of the setting. Or, since Eberron would have been written before BoED hit the shelves, it means someone saw the idea and decided it was cool. Given James Wyatt was involved with both, I'd say it was him really liking his idea of positive energy "non-dead" and deciding to give it a place in Eberron. (Oh, and in 1e and 2e, Mummies were also positive energy undead. The jury is out if this was intended or an accident that survived the edition change.)</blockquote>
