Turns out forgotten beasts CAN turn into zombies.
« on: February 17, 2012, 10:30:24 am »
I know you more experienced  guys probably already knew this, but if you didn't.......Now you do! So forgotten beasts can turn into zombies.


 Excuse me while I go and try to deal with a zombified quail with external ribs and an infestation of severed hands.



I'm loving this update :D

Don't BC's leave a bronze statue instead of a corpse?

Why not? We know vampires can become necromancers and vampires can become werewolves. If a necromancer vampire werewolf died could you not raise it as a zombie?

Because there are tags stopping vampires from being werewolves and vice versa, megabeasts like FB's can't be necromancers, vampires or werewolves and there's an odd supernatural tag that makes things a bit odd. You could probably raise zombie necromancers though, and maybe zombie werewolves and vampires.

What about inorganic FBs?  I'm guessing the zombie code doesn't check that...

Either way... this has potential for lots of Fun.  If you sever the limbs off of a FB with deadly dust or vapors, can the reanimated limbs spew dust or vapors too?
