Been contemplating motivations and character of a hypothetical necromancer I might play soon(dread necro/sand shaper). As a guardian of an ancient desert necropolis, devoid of intelligent company, he encounters the bane of all immortal beings: boredom. Looking around for tips and stuff I found Haunt Shift... :xykon: :evilgasm: he he.
To the point: Take a gold coin. Haunt Shift a zombie into it with a simple command set(attack anything that takes the coin, preferably timed in some way, parameters for retreat) into it. Repeat until bored. Place this "treasure" in moderately hack'n'slashable dungeon.
Desired effect: Greedy McGoldlover suddenly finds himself in the middle of manifesting zombie horde. Hilarity Ensues. :smallamused:
Questions:
1. I'm dealing with undead creation and manipulation for the firs time. Were mindless undead doing the last set(is it set to just one Command?) of commands after you lose control over them? Or was that constructs?
2. Do I choose the form of haunting when I cast the spell?
3. Is it generally doable?
4. What precautions do I need to do to not get attacked after losing control over shifted horde and dealing with the treasure. Beyond abusing knowledge of the last set of commands.
5. What do you think of this idea? :smallbiggrin:
