If there are no restrictions other than "undead", I suppose that one can probably min-max this to be some sort of undead god.
I have little familiarity with Dungeons & Dragons' Greyhawk setting, so I don't know if "being Vecna" in particular is a good idea, but it illustrates the point that that game clearly has undead gods.
If I'm an undead undead, do I get to live?
Depends on how your summoned I guess.
A capybara in a remote location that won't see human development within my new lifetime. Just chillin' with my interspecies homies.
Wasn't talking animals. I meant what type of undead would you come back as. xD
@[email protected]: E.g. zombie capybara, vampiric capybara, spectral capybara, skeletal capybara, etc.
The painkiller thing where you can tear off your head and throw it at someone and then still control it well enough to bite them
I'd come back as a wraith, preferably shadow of mordor / war style with domination powers.
Otherwise, a lich assuming I could have lich magic and evolve
Arch lich?
Wasn't that how Mitch McConnell was born?
He's more of a turtle golem.
He's a master of disguise
What is this? Some kind of druid / necromancer dual class?
Nah, I meant what type of undead. I edited the post title, sorry.
I'm going to be a lich.
I get the keep my mind and memories, so I'm not some dumb zombie going babbling "brrrrlll" here and there, seeking brains. I'm fairly powerful so I can pull out my own weight, enough to become the necromancer's right arm. And if it comes to the worst I can always backstab the necromancer and become the boss, as typically lichs have their own necromancy.
You know you have to feed a soul to your phylactery like every few days. Who’s gonna get got?
Objectively the best answer. Plus, as long as you hide your phylactery well, there's not much the necromancer can do to keep you in line.
I'd expect my phylactery to be with the necromancer at the start, for exactly this reason. So I think that a lot of my job in my first days [years?] as an undead is to get their trust so I can: replace my phylactery with a copy, hide the original, and proclaim my independence.
Ghostflame Dragon.
Probably like a skunk or something idk.
So any animal is fair game? In which case, dodo. You MFs ate us into oblivion, I'm gonna come back with species worth of pent up rage and an undead thirst for blood.
Edit: in retrospect I now realise a dodo would be super easy to send back to the underworld :-(. I'm gonna be... checks deadliest thing notes, a car.
Tiamat
Is not undead?
Blue whale.
"oh no, not again"
I know it's probably too on brand, but maybe some kind of monstrous wolf hell beast thing. Maybe with a skull as a head and dripping flesh.
If I'm going to be a mindless killing machine, may as well have some fun with it. Better than being a slow shambling skeleton or zombie at any rate.
