[QUOTE="RonYon, post: 1764701, member: 17396"] [b]Now onto pratical matters...[/b] My necromancer is ...ethical. Not good or evil, ethical. He does what he does for reasons of his own, and bends to the conventions of society often but only so much. He generally only animates the corpes of the non sentient. This is out of respect for the sesibilities of the living, practical fear of being mistaken for a grave robber, and uncertianties about the nature of the soul.What he does know is that any culture or being willing to geld a horse, pig or bull so as to make it more useful to its owner, has little to say about how he might treat that animals "soul".Real physical pain and loss vs. theoretical metaphysical torture? Come on now. Still there are those who will allow a man to drug himself to death, just so long as he has a presciption, damnit! To keep them happy, my necroman casts a false aura on the taxidermied corpes before he animates them. Now they turn up as a nuetral animated object , and this cuts down on drive by turnings as well. At latter levels he will animate his own cloned bodies, as well as bodies made with the stone to flesh spell.These will be preseved with oil of timelessness to keep them fresh. 3.5 has eliminated the two ways I knew to make ghosts,but there are still grave spawn,and the crypt thing, and perhaps a undead familier. If he is a cleric he will take the eberion domain of shadow, just so he can create lesser plannar allies with shadow conjeration, and release them after swearing(geas) them to good conduct.Evil outsiders will be brand new, and thus without sin.They will be offered atonement/ geas, disolution back into shadow, or death. Finally The Dead Letter Offices will be opened, run by shadow spawned folk,who in adition to their own travling capabilities, will also employ taxidermied skeleton horses as long endurance mounts.Skeletons can run all day and night. Now by the book, My necromancer is evil. Also by the book, a "LG" fighter who kills all goblinoids as a race, is A ok. Yeah, the "races of evil" thingdisturbes me more than making bone dance. But By the book racism it a ok with good peaple! After all , goblins are are evil. [/QUOTE]
