Well, as part of my ongoing TT game, (Alexander, Arni, Michael, Michael STAY OUT)
I am planning on having some fun with undead soon, now that my players are at fifth level and finally high enough to deal with some of the more interesting types.
For starters, they killed a couple of ogres a while back, which they foolishly left to rot in the open forest (dun dun dun!). Needless to say, one of the mid-level BBEG's has dropped by, and animated them. Grum and Nugg, my loveable ogre couple (who the party destroyed without even giving diplomacy a chance! tsk tsk), are coming back to play. Grum got raised as a zombie, it has already been decided. He will lurch into the settlement one night, his only semblance to his former personality being a sad, longing call for his long-lost Nugg. "Nuuugg.... Nuugg... ... Nugg?"
Nugg will be nearby, but she will be much smarter, and much more evil, than her dimwitted counterpart. Nugg, I would like to have been raised as a ghast. A hungry gleam is in her yellow eyes, and she moves just a little too quickly for the likes of her hapless victims.
So my question is, how do I properly ghastify an Ogre? And also, are there any more undead templates out there, besides skeleton, zombie, vampire and lich? (the last two are way too powerful for my party now) Some midlevel things would be nice..
