tell me, gitp peeps, I am playing a senile PC. Fun but a little problematic when the GM enforces it, lol.
I am playing a Venerable Jungle Kobold necromancer name Zak-Zak. As part of my background story, I was trying to figure out a reason why someone so old had begun to adventure, even starting at lv5, and the only thing I thought of was him believing a clearly made up collection of stories, in the search for five particular skeletons to merge into one Huge or larger skeleton warrior. When I pitched it to the GM, he loved it (though facepalmed heavily) but as a prerequisite, I would have to be enforced on the whole senility point. RPwise, not hard, just gotta be myself, troll a little bit and generally have fun. However, since this campaign has no undead for me to command (or not much to find), I clearly have to raise up those NPCs we kill (have one now, only one though, an Orc skeley with breatplate armor and great axe already in hand) or go to a graveyard and well, ya know. When I ask if I can see a graveyard, of course he secretly rolls that and, yes, I "see" one, though I make no save roll against it (the one thing I am a bit mad at). I call out that I walk over and begin casting (never said what, but y'all know it was gonna be Desecrate). Yea, that place wasn't a graveyard but a mess hall for an orc warband. Luckily, I was picked up by my Orc buddy, Dizzy the unarmed swordsage (btw, rolled 4 6s so got a 20 for Wis, knocked down to 18, and the 18 he rolled later made for a nice 24 in Str), picked me up and placed me on my skeley buddy.
My question is simple, how do I offset my senility to ensure I get at least some of a skeleton army going while not breaking the conditions of my agreement with the GM? Is there some way in game, say an item or spell I can use to make sure the decisions I make IC are gonna net me a crucial for my PC utility? I know I am gonna die horribly in the campaign (still will be fun, GM is a good guy for the most part) but I am a man of my word, and I rather not break it. Just trying to amass something while helping my PC buddies. Don't want to be standing around being useless just buffing them, and lobbing bolts at targets. Heck, can't even be the face (have the highest Cha in the party, and points in Diplomacy) due to how my senility will interfere. Can you guys help me out a bit? Thanks, :)
