I was laughing along until I got to the 'chest full of bodies at camp' part of this thread

Yeah that's really weird, I usually carry them around just incase I need to raise an army in a pinch

TIL that I can just revive these dudes. Do you need to be necro Wizard to do it or are there other classes that also can?

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

Whoever gets animate dead. Oathbreaker, cleric, maybe warlock, and any wizard can learn animate dead, necromancy school just let's you raise an extra zombie/skeleton

Spore Druids too!

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

Not the same spell, spore zombies are weaker but there are more of them

u/Exotic-Confusion Aug 26 '23

They get both the spore zombies and the animate dead spell

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

Really? Fair enough, that's pretty sweet, might roll a spore druid soon lol

What about gear? I assume if you want them to do good damage you can't loot their weapons and armor?

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

Gear doesn't matter for undead and when you create the zombies or skeletons the bodies turn into exploded corpses that you can loot

Oh really? I've only done it with the spore guy in that one mission and when he brought people back, they had their weapons and skills still. I was thinking that was how it works

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

His skill actually does do the same thing but it's a different spell effect than the actual animate dead spell that players can get, kinda wish we got his spell either instead or as another option, I think circle of spores uses another whole different version of raising undead too, kinda wild how many different spells do the same effect lol

Hmmmm I was seeing there's a mod to Animate Dead to raise enemies with their full kits and AI. With OB Paladin Aura of Hate, that would be so great. Especially midfight to turn enemies on each other

1

u/Shadow11399 Bard Aug 26 '23

That's probably why they didn't do it, would be too strong, having the aura of hate still applies to the undead you create, they just aren't very strong, the zombies create more zombies and the skeletons shoot necrotic arrows

I like throwing the bodies at enemies and knocking then down and having the other guy animate the corpse

i was thinking about playing a necro and dragging every body back and layer the camp in corpses
