[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8569928, member: 27385"] I was going to bring this one up. I thought it was a decent supplement and made a decent case on why they have undead roaming the city. I could also see a land like Thay, that is ruled by a lich, have more of this. [ATTACH type="full"]153205[/ATTACH] Now, I'm picturing an undead swarm of soldier legs attacking the party. In general there is lots of ways to argue something to get a 'good' point about it. Undead slaves are better than alive slaves. We're not using human bodies- what kind of monsters do you think we are. It is what GiGi wanted. I need to pay my bills somehow. It is society's fault for not understanding us. I can see other problems that corollate with a cheap labor force. Underbidding contracts, labor problems with alive people not getting work, and clashes with guilds over quality of work. A few beneficial things may be that the army is already dead and fighting another dead army may lead to a more civilized battle where people come and watch like a picnic. You could sacrificial bomb an undead instead of having the orc Olympic torch guy from LotR. You have less logistics with supply trains when you bring your army to attack your neighbor since the food cost is less. [/QUOTE]
