Re: Undead Generator
Wow this is awesome! I've been thinking of building a monster generator into my android app and this seems to cover undead nicely.
If you don't mind, I can use this logic when I get to that functionality (with an acknowledgment to your work, of course). |

Re: Undead Generator
This generator needs some powers like draining fatigue, HT, DX, ST, IQ, Hit Points etc. Maybe some paralysis and pain effects too. Aging and Fright Checks are also appropriate. The way the attack is delivered could also be random like evil howling, icy claws, bite, or even appearance alone. The undead could taint areas and make clerical powers diificult to use unless a cleansing ritual is performed. Maybe even the touch of the undead taints holy powers and items rendering them useless until a Remove Curse is performed. Or maybe the infernal energies of undead will not allow proper healing until a Remove Curse is performed as well. The undead might also have unnatural strength, speed, damages resistance, health and so forth as well. They will likely reform unless put down to proper rest through clerical powers and special weapons and magic spells. The undead need to have alot of powers like shapeshifting and illusion too.

Re: Undead Generator
This generator is relevant to my interests. Thanks for posting it!
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who still keeps the following undead heiracrchy from least to most powerful
With Ghasts, Mummies and whatever else I can throw in to fill the gaps? Or is that just me Grognarding from the old 1eAD&D game? |

Many undead aren't really immune to mind control, they're just immune to effects designed to control living human beings. It's more like: Different Mental Type: this creature is immune to effects that read, influence, or control human minds, because it's not human. Powers designed to function on different types of mind will work normally. This is an unusual background, worth up to 25 points, depending on how common mental abilities targeting your mind type are. |

Of course, I'm a big fan of Ravenloft and their Van Richten monster guide books, so there's nothing wrong with a bit of old-schooling. :)

I don't mind at all if you use this for your app. If I didn't want this shared, I wouldn't be posting it here! |
