If you disregard supernatural powers of undead, it’s different depending on who you ask anyway, I’d go with a skeleton.
Blue whale.
“oh no, not again”
Ghostflame Dragon.
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?
Do souls have sizes, like “you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig”?
Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.
Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.
This EcoLich build definitely sounds like the way to go.
Circle of Undeath Druid?
Prisoners.
Is your Phylactry also a notebook where you write their names?
Yeah. I wish that my phylactery was just “hide it somewhere and pretend that it doesn’t exist”, but bloody Light doesn’t let me have my way, got to write a name every 13 days.
Pedophiles, Rapists and evil people who cannot be reformed
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.
Can liches shape-shift, if so I want to become one so I can swap my bodies sex
Probably, given that they’re good spell casters. You could for example cast “alter self”, and look like your desired sex. The main problem is that those spells are typically short-lived, they last minute~hours, so after the time ends you’re again a skeleton or decaying corpse.
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.
Perhaps you would enjoy this.
I certainly did.
Probably like a skunk or something idk.
Tiamat
Is not undead?
Oh hell no. A fumbled 1, shambling back into sweet death-death within moments, possibly dragging him with me.
Hmmm,an undead deity, undead tarrasque, or, the pact to summon me would be the life of the summoner and he summons me as his undead self.
I like all of these options
Darksign’d undead. Sure I’ll hollow out eventually, but for now lets do some jolly co-operation.
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.
What is this? Some kind of druid / necromancer dual class?
Nah, I meant what type of undead. I edited the post title, sorry.
Wasn’t that how Mitch McConnell was born?
He’s more of a turtle golem.
He’s a master of disguise
A bowl of petunias.
Again?
Oh no.
Agrajag, is that you?
One that can shape-shift so I can change my bodies sex to the one that aligns with my gender identity and be fully conscious and self aware but I’d also line to have free will
I’d also want to have all powerful magic as well
