Howdy all, just your friendly neighborhood Dark Lord of the Undead here. Thought this would be an interesting exercise for those who understand your humanity is a small price to pay for immortal existence and immense power.
Part one:
So, picking from the list of templates below (or any Paizo published +2 template or +1 template plus the advanced template that changes your type to undead), which is your favorite? Reasons can be power, flavor, or staying power:
- Advanced Ectoplasmic
- Advanced Ghoulish Creature
- Advanced Juju Zombie
- Advanced Penanggalen
- Advanced Seeded
- Advanced Skeleton Champion
- Advanced Zombie Lord
- Animus Shade
- Ghost
- Graveknight
- Lich
- Mummy Lord
- Psychic Lich
- Psychic Vampire
- Siabrae
- Vetala
- Vampire
Part two:
Should you feel particularly eager to express your creative attitude through the dark arts, feel free to whip up a champion to defend your opinions. The rules are:
Must use a template as previously discussed, 11th level, any player race 15 rp or less, elite array, no traits, heroic npc WBL, no variant rules, Paizo material only. Works out to CR12.
Leave any boring theory or cheese builds at home. These should be undead that can be slotted into a campaign at most tables.
PS: Massive bonus points if you build your character around Golarion lore. But not a requirement.
