Undead character.

Can you become undead in this game?

[thainen]

No, sorry, you can't. The closest you get is the Undead bloodline which gives you some of the undead features.

[vladeg10]

Ok thanks

[PyramidBoy]

don't listen to thainen he didn't do enough research, while I don't know how you can become undead, I know for sure that you can be one. you can check yourself, If you take inquisitor class and choose death domain, there is feat at level 8 called deaths embrace where it says on the last line "If you are undead, then you instead do not take damage from positive energy." which confirms that you can somehow be undead.

Actually, it's because - very minor spoiler - one of your party members that you can obtain is undead.

I say minor because you learn this in the freaking tutorial.

Or that Feat could be for the pre existing undead NPC you get in in the intro...

Damn you Meeky you beat me by a second!

In addition to said character, there's also the fact that many spell/item/skill descriptions could include information from the pnp game that is not relevant/did not make it into the game itself. History is littered with examples of this. The DSA games were absolutely full of this, especially the first couple. You could dump tons of points into skills that literally had no functional use in the video game.

But said NPC is of the War Domain, not Death Domain

I wish you could be undead, and I also wish Jaethal could be a romance option in a different way, like an undead communion together. I'd like to see more weird options like becoming undead or other surprises that you have to figure out yourself. Maybe Jaethal takes you somewhere and they perform a ritual. Or you could become a lich or something, too. More of that would be awesome IMO. Like the secret to becoming a vampire in Morrowind and then working for the vampire clans that you had to find on your own.

No, she has the Death Domain.

you are mixing two seperate characters.
I don't know how you managed to mix 2 characters of different races, different classes and different genders

Since Thainen is one of the developers of the game... I think it is safe to say that he did sufficent research. :)

In that case he admited that they only halfheartly pasted the pnp texts into the game and that every attempt to plan a build in this game is pure roulette.. thank you very much.

I mean originally its very unlikeley to reach level 20 in the game so i doubt the cleric death domain thing about "if you are undead" is meant to be for multiclassing a level 20 sorc undead combined with a level 8 death cleric.

Oh and before some elementary kid complains about topic necroism.. this thread is about undead so.. get lost :P
