Hey all - Working on a couple campaign options for one of my playgroups and they're going to have to make a few very difficult decisions soon - one of which may result in them becoming (at least temporarily) undead. Now, I played a ton of Ravenloft back in the day and had no small amount of focus on Requiem: The Grim Harvest - bonus points if you know what I'm talking about. I picked up the Ghostwalk book for 3e but really didn't have too much use for it; it did make for great reading though. One thing that Requiem really hooks me on is letting the PCs choose an undead "class" (or type, whatever :p). However, I'm not sure if this is the proper method to use for this new campaign - where Requiem was designed for entry-level characters, my team is 18-20 and eagerly awaiting those Epic Destinies. What I'm thinking is this: No skeletons, zombies. Nothing basic; their new status should reflect their inherent power! Wizards & (Cha) Sorcerers: Lich template (though somewhat restricted) Con-based classes would swing towards mummies or mummy lords Str classes would be more towards ghouls and ghasts (well advanced, of course) Dex classes and people that play as strikers... wraiths and the like So... my questions: Do you have suggestions for player roles versus undead race options? (I have access to pretty much every accessory from early 2e through current; I'm one of THOSE guys) A chunk of the campaign arc deals with death giants and chronomancy; reactions? Potential encounter/ daily powers for you favorite undead? I appreciate any help you all might have; thanks in advance!
