WOTC Undead Templates?

[Heretic Apostate]

What undead templates has WOTC put out, and where are they located? How many common (i.e., no mohhrgs, for instance, but things like skeletons, wraiths, ghouls, and so on) undead have yet to be done?

I've seen the Vampire and the Lich. What else is there?

 

[MulhorandSage]

There's a mummy template in Deities and Demi-Gods.

WotC has done a zombie and a skeleton template, both released as part of the "Monster Mayhem" feature on their website.
Zombie and skeleton

Monte Cook did a template for ghouls & ghasts, available at his website -- here.

Andy Collins posted a wight template on his site.

Sean Reynolds has a variant vampire template on his site, too.

SKR has a few other templates, too, though they aren't undead. They're on his monsters page.

And, for completeness , WotC has a drider template, too.

Hi there Boz! Thanks for the compliment, although James Wyatt (who I *think* wrote the DDG Egyptian entry) did a pretty good job. Egypt's a tough pantheon to do right because the nation's got three distinct time periods, a gaggle of local cults, many gods imported from Nubia, Cush, and Canaan, and popular mythology ha's distorted our view of the original culture. Not to mention that any variation from the original DDG (which covered minor deities like Anhur at the expense of major ones like Hathor) tends to set people off. So all things considered, DDG 3e's a pretty good treatment.

AHHA AHAHAHHAHA! Get it? They're set off by inaccuracies in the Egyptian patheon?

Set... off...

JESawyer's head has explodiated!!1! How am I ever going to get Icewind Dale II now?

There is also a zombie template in Nightmares and Dreams II that even features variant zombie types. There is also a template called exoskeleton that deals with the animated remains of creatures that have exoskeletons instead of an internal skeleton. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I don't think that sort of attitude will get you Icewind Dale II faster. In fact, you can curse, and scream yourself Horus, and it still won't do any good.

Actually, you should blame MulhorandSage. I've been using his Old Empires supplement to run a PnP campaign for the past three months. Think of all the time that could be saved if I had never started that game...
