05-04-04, 10:22 AM Do you mean a D&D rule book, or a novel?

The use of multiple templates is a part of Savage Species and the 3.5 Monster Manual, and can also be found in various online sources (including the WotC website). You might also want to check out Slayer's Guide to Undead by Mongoose, or The Complete Monstrous Undead Compendium: Detailed Rules for Monstrous Undead PCs and Npcs! by Fast Forward.

05-04-04, 11:37 AM a d&d rule book, it was a spell, not a template, yeah you can add temps to a undead creature but skeleton/zombie are not temps, shades/shadows,vimpires,liches are temps but wrights, ghouls aren't... god if I can only remember that book I was reading.

Any creature can be made into a wight.
Any creature can be made into a ghoul.

Once you switch from a standard medium-sized, LA=0 base creature, you will have to resort to templates to create the undead creature. The pattern of applying a template will work the same as it does for the other templates.
