I'm just looking for a few ideas for a calling card of my character. Right now I am a 14th level dread necro. I'm LE and have leadership. One of the focuses of the character is having a massive undead army. The problem I am having with it all is that after I kill something I raise it as a minion - which doesn't allow me to leave a great calling card.

Anybody have any suggestions? The more outlandish the better...

Have you got leadership or Undead Leadership (LB)?

As for your calling card, flay everything you raise, if its a skeleton, its easy, just strip away the skin in a big thing before the raising process and it doesnt effect it.

Zombies would be a little differnet:plotting: but no less cool... cos having a horde of skinless zombies would certainly stand out... with all their rotting muscles and such:yuck:


The city watch comes across a pile of bloody skins-
"Yep, *insert character name* has been through here, call in some back up"

Hope this helps

Peace

I have the regular leadership

That is a pretty nice idea about flaying the flesh off first - thanks for that!

lets keep'em comin' :bounce:

A couple ideas:

1) A personal symbol, painted in the blood of your slain enemies (before you animate their corpses obviously) REALLY BIG on walls, floors, etc.
1.5) Become a poet, leave lines of poetry painted in blood on the walls.

2) Leave one horribly traumatized survivor to tell the tale of your evilitude.

3) Leave behind one body part (your choice) from every victim.

that's all I have for now. Hope you enjoy

Burn the pattern of your personal sigil into the ground, so that anyone who flies over sees a giant swastika or whatever.

Let's see, calling cards...

Leave a body behind and meticulously place it so that it faces the next site of your attacks
Leave a letter in the form of a Magic Mouth spell talking to the Guards investigating the attacks
2.5. Leave an ordinary letter, but finish it with "PS. Explosive Runes" with Fell Animate
Similar to above, have a trap set so that when a Guard enters, it fires off a Scorching Ray/Distintegrate close to the ground that reflects off of mirrors to scorch your symbol on the floor.
Replace the eye of a left-behind body with a Symbol of Death
Arrange some of the leftover bodies into a large letter, going through 'H', 'E', 2 'L's, and 'O', probably over the span of several attacks, then leave a Circle of Death with the Magic Mouth message of "Goodbye"
Before every attack, cast Blindness/Deafness to blind one of the victims and then leave them alive
6.5 Alternatively, leave them deafened
Use Geas/Quest to force a survivor to walk into the Guardhouse and reveal your name and the location of the crime, then tear out their internal organs with a shortsword
Use Song of Discord to cause people in the streets to attack each other, then finish them off with Fell Animate Inflict Critical Wounds via Spectral Hand
