Abnormal Low-Level Undead for Your Campaign
🕑 Added 2020-05-01 06:56:14 +0000 UTCUndead are great! For some reaons, my adventures often feature undead but—like many monsters—I never spend too much time detailing the monsters themselves—their stat blocks and treasure are always more important. Well no more!
With this handy 20 Things installment I present the tools for breathing life into zombies, skeletons and oher low-level undead foes. I’ll be using many of these details in my own campaign selflessly for my players' enjoyment.
As I "speak", I’m running—or trying to run—a 5e adaption of the classic adventure B5 Horror on the Hill. (I say "try to run", as my players seems to be unable to actually reach the monastery in which the adventure is set!)
(If you want to check out their adventures hit this link).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this free 20 Things instalment and that you can find a use for it in your campaign.
Where's My Stuff?
As always, by the time you get this you should have a message from me containing the special secret download codes for these books. Just drop them into your browser and you should be good to go. If you have any problems, just drop me a line and I'll sort it out for you.
Sometimes at the start of the month, Patreon's billing can get a little bit weird. Because of this if you don't get a link for 20 Things #49: Abnormal Low-Level Undead just drop me a line and I'll leap into action.
Thank You

Welcome all!
And finally, I hope wherever you are in the world that you are staying healthy and safe and that you are making the best of this strange time.

Thank you. I’m glad to know you’ll find this instalment jolly useful. Hopefully, your players will enjoy the undead as well!

This is eerily timely. I was just watching Clone Wars with a friend last night, episode S4E19, which features a lot of undead. I said to my friend how undead are so *boring* in D&D, how they're never given any character or embellishment to make them seem threatening, but the undead in this episode were *horrifying*. They were incredibly agile and vicious, and of course not the bland "oh it's just a rotting corpse" thing that you usually see with zombies. I applaud you for taking the time to spice up one of the mainstays of D&D with character and personality. Far too often encounters of this sort just tend to be slogs that drain resources and aren't interesting. Stuff like this makes even a single zombie worthy of the players' attention. Thank you.
