In my games undead cannot be killed by any normal means, including magic weapons. Turn undead is the ONLY way to deal with them. So I guess we did a little but if a 180. I see clerics as the odd man out anyway, so I might as well give them something to really shine.<br /><br />What makes undead really scary, in OD&D at least, is that they cannot be heard behind doors. They are a representation of the unknown. I had forgotten about this rule when I started my current campaiagn. Had I remembered, I would have run undead as is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494391031541363595noreply@blogger.com
