Undead limbs forming creatures
« on: February 19, 2012, 07:46:24 am »

This is just something I was spitballing in another thread based on someone else's idea, but it seemed semi-interesting and seemed followed a train of reasonable logic;

Have undead limbs occasionally group up and form into a shambling creature.

Basically something along the lines of "if x number of undead limbs are on the same square, generate creature".  Something like the current FB generator, but taking the attributes from whatever it was made from. (say if a few hands, legs and wings, it would describe it as such and dictate what it was made from, if it flew, etc).  Might make things interesting for those forts with the front door littered with corpses, a necromancer turning all the limbs till you've got an army of random-attributed building destroyers coming towards the front door along with the regular zombies.

Might even give an opportunity for !!Science!! to see what could be made with a captured necromancer and controlled pitting of limbs.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

I  would generate sooooo many forts until I got reanimated giant lion men, and would sacrifice as many dwarves as needed to get the 5 limbs needed to form Zombitron, Defenderstroyer of the Universe!

So like a flesh golem, eh? Sure, I'm down for that. Maybe make it something necromancers have to actively do?

That's the point, it wouldn't be as fun to crush their souls if they didn't have souls to begin with.
