I'd like to request your help in looking for some monsters for my campaign. It'll be an undead campaign, but the (already overused :smallredface:) twist is that the lower ranked undead may be mindless beasts, but the higher ones are sentient and highly organized.
I was thinking about a structure somewhat like this, from bottom to top in ranks:
-Mindless undead footsoldiers
-Sentient "officers" that have a limited capacity to raise the undead
-The BBEG, pretty much the avatar of the Death deity. He has impressive high level magic, the capacity to kill most things with a single spell and the potential to raise a very large undead army
I considered that zombies, skeletons and swordwraiths would be sufficient to create footsoldiers of various types (depending on their martial skill in life, how intact their corpses are etc.), but what I'd like to know from you is what types of undead you'd suggest for the officers and the BBEG.
Please keep in mind that this is an E6 game. The officers should therefore be within that range, but I don't mind the BBEG being unbeatable (CR 8-10 or perhaps even a little bit higher than 10). Furthermore, while I prefer to limit myself to core and the completes, I'm open to pretty much every official WotC source (except dragon magazine/compendium).
Thanks in advance for the help. :smallsmile:
