Question about being a necromancer
« on: March 25, 2012, 02:23:40 pm »

I recently became a necromancer on my adventurer and there is a couple things that are confusing me.

1st
a couple days after becoming a necro my speed dropped from the 1900's to the 1300's, this may have to do with the
2nd
apparently i don't have to eat, drink, or sleep anymore. at least i never get the hungry thristy or drowsy indicators. is this normal?
3rd
i'm pretty much invincible it seems, so i think companions just get in the way, but are there any benefits to raising armies of undead minions?
i'm a dwarf and was thinkin about trying to eradicate the human and elf races :P

1. That's not very question like, questions look like this: What is the point in beating a bandit to death with his own thumb?
2. That's normal, I think its the same with vampires.
3. Well you can raise anything as long as its dead and you can raise it as many times as needed. Good look with 'purifying' the world.

Does raising corpses stop non-historicals from respawning?

how about my speed dropping from 1900's to 1300's?

is this an effect of being so badass that my adventurer no longer feels the need to move fast or is it an effect of no eating, drinking or sleeping for weeks?
