124. All these adventurers running around claiming "It's a good day to die!" meh if you say so...
124A. I tell them its a good day to unlive!
125. Unlike meatsacks, the undead don't complain about minium wages and have really poor unions.
126. You don't have to worry about union rules for your Legion of Terror.

128. A damnation weapon from the dark betwixt the stars will poison the world. Undeath is humanity's only chance to keep on existing, because living is not an option.

132. Because my ex-wife sucked the life out of me in the divorce.
133. Imagine having the heads of Tesla, Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, and Isaac Newton available for a speak with dead spell.
134. Dragons make awesome mounts, but most of them are against the idea and enchantment spells grant them saving throws. Skeletal/zombie dragons don't say no to the idea.

135. Was only halfway paying attention when he heard the pitch for it. ("I misheard when they said you could get a resurrection any time you wanted. I thought I could save money on pills if I became a do-it-yourselfer. And when they said I'd become skilled in the necrotic arts, I thought they were saying something else too. Boy was I in for a disturbing surprise!")

141. "You know that question that always comes up with some variant of 'if you could invite some historical figures over for a party, who would you invite?' To that question, I say yes, all of them. And I have the power to back up that statement.

145. "Because all my nearly unpaid child laborers that work in my textile factory regularly need food and water. And they have a bad habit of growing up to fight back or run away. Plus, their complaints are starting to gather public sentiment against my practices. Therefore, it's more productive to kill and then reanimate them than to worry about continual turnover and the bad press it generates." (Fun fact: this was the actual motivation of an NPC in one Ravenloft module. Talk about despicable monsters.)
148. This court rules that if you're going to be a magic user... IT'S THE LAW!
(Actually a thing if you live in Souragne...)
149. It beats being a Commoner with the Peasant Hat flaw. (Like my picture here.)
150. You're a creature of habit. You're jokes are so aged you they're mummified. Your complaints are so old beating a dead horse is out of the question- you have to move on up to beating an undead horse.

152. You always longed to fulfill the dreams your parents set out for you. Sadly, they were killed when you were very young, too young for you to fulfill those goals. Now that you're older and wiser and have made your way in the world, what better time to call them up and get reacquainted with them?

158. You all laughed at me, you all laughed at me! Said I was just a crazy, demented fool! Now look at you! Brains being eaten by horrific abominations from beyond the stars! My undead army and my tinfoil hat protect me! Don't worry though, you'll make excellent shock troops for my resistance force! WHY IS THIS SQUIRREL TALKING TO ME!?
161. Huh...animating a table? That's pathetic, lemme show you what impresses people.......
162. Becauses diseases always add some spice to interpersonal relations.

168. I'm actually an undead HUNTER, but I DRESS like I'm a fan. That way the undead'll never see me comin'! And plus there's an enormous amount of necromancy spells that are useful against the undead- from the lowly cantrip disrupt undead all the way up to Undeath to Death.
Plus, Command Undead is just as good for making 'em gank each other as it is for anything else.
