Because my players are on a boat journey and I want to know your opinion
DrMorganes 01-13-07, 12:28 PM	hrm... There was a web supplement - either a Vicious Venues article or an adventure download - that put the PCs face to face with aquatic mummies. Essentially they were the same as normal mummies, but their waterlogged forms were immune to fire. :evillaugh
JulesCARV 01-13-07, 12:37 PM	Well, I think that the whole point of mummification is to keep things dry, but undead based on other, wetter forms of corpse-preservation might work. For example, maybe undead who rise from corpses that are preserved in acidic bogs?
Mirtek 01-13-07, 12:43 PM	maybe undead who rise from corpses that are preserved in acidic bogs? Bog Mummies have already be done in some issue of dragon, along with clay mummies and frost mummies. About aquatic mummies: Well, you could have a mummy that was thrown into the sea after having been mummified. But I don't think it's possible to have a real aquatic mummie made, because such a body could not be mummified. And the whole point about a mummy is that the corpse is mommified, not that it's wrapped in something. There are several types of mummies without any wraps at all, but they are all mummified in one way or annother. So: Only because it's wraped doesn't mean it's a mummie (just wrap some weak zombies to make them look like mummies and watch the party waste valuable ressources on them :devil: ) ad just because it's not wraped doesn't mean that it can't still be some kind of mummy

It haunts the waters where it was created, capturing prey and subjecting them to it's Saline desiccatation curse, a horrific supernatural disease where the subjects blood slowly and very, very painfully turns to salt, dessicating the creature from the inside out into a withered husk.... Wow, I like that idea... I might stat that out....
