Why does nobody ever think of the suffering of the poor smurfs?

"Alrighty it looks like your ships in good repair and the paperwork is all in line and we're willing to offer you (redacted) credits. There's just one more step, just a formality really. Let's just run this curse detection program over here and..."

"Oh gods that's horrendous! Get your ship off my lot now, and never come back. Until you get that curse removed, consider your ship blacklisted by every dealer in the Pact Worlds."

Just realized this really encourages necromancy. Can't sell weapons for much? Make undead to wield it. Wildly inaccurate, but a good distraction.

One thing I noticed is that animating undead is no longer an evil act in Starfinder. As best I can tell, no spell except Planar Binding has the "Evil" or "Good" descriptor.

I want this explained, I want the exact reason written down so that it can be understood what changed.
That's a little brusque. But undead (at least intelligent undead) are no longer automatically evil. Not everyone agrees with that sentiment in-universe, of course, but them's the breaks. And if undead aren't automatically evil, it follows that Animate Dead shouldn't automatically be an evil spell.
The whole previous reason though wasn't that the spell is evil because it creates evil. It was evil because the process involved was basically ripping at least part of the soul of something to make an undead out of it. You were literally doing evil things to make them.

Ehhhh, Eox fixed that centuries ago, they now have artificial souls made out of space soybeans. That's why animate dead costs so much, you have to buy the interstellar tofu souls to put into the undead. [/joke]


I do appreciate the little time it lived
