Why is creating undead Evil?

[Khedrac]

Ghosts are still "Alignment - Any" rather than "Alignment - Any Evil" in 3.5, not just 3.0.

Wow - that I had not spotted and it doesn't entirely make sense given their abilities.

Archliches were never in the 3.0 MM in the first place - they were only in Monsters of Faerun - a 3.0 book, but one that was updated to 3.5 with the online web enhancement.

That was rather my point, I did not know they had even made it in to MoF - they were a 2nd Ed non-evil undead.

So, while skeletons and zombies were "moved from Neutral to Evil" I don't think it's fair to say that archliches were "removed from the game" in 3.5. Several FR 3.5 books mention them.

As per earlier comment, I was unaware they had made it across - thank-you.
