I intend to run a side game once every other month for our playgroup and we'll be running through Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition.
Any advice or pitfalls I should watch out for with the whole party being undead? Any battles or baddies that being undead will overly trivialize?
I'm hoping to make this a brisk playthrough where we get through at least one book per session.
Thoughts and advice welcome.
Edit: We're starting at level 2/CR 2.
Party so far consists of a fat Zombie Goblin Rogue who searches the corpses of deceased enemies for the physical soul as though it were an undiscovered piece of anatomy.
A Dread Skeleton (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/dread-skeleton-cr-1) who seeks to free the skeletons of the living from their fleshy prisons.
A necropolitan analogue built from the Race builder. But he might also be going Ghast Monk.
An undecided whose first thought was Vargoille but is probably just playing a ghoul or skeleton bard.
And one other who won't be able to rejoin us for a while but will surely play a melee mundane of some kind.
Also, due to a misspelling in my notes I'm seriously considering rewriting the adventures to be 'Rise fo the Runelords' instead where these undead get to fight for the forces of evil in scenarios where the PCs never arrived.
Suggestions are again more than welcome.
