    Default Contingency Undead

    Ok, so looking at the title of two threads got me thinking about something else:

    Can you set up a Contingency to cast Create Undead on yourself when you die?

    Say you're an 18th level Wizard. Can you stuff your mouth with Onyx and have it set so you'll turn into a Morgh the night after you're killed>

    Does anyone else find this as fun as I do?

    A Fighter/Paladin will just hack you to bits

    A Wizard/Sorcerer will just blow you up with a spell

    A Rogue/Ranger/Monk will just kill you in your sleep

    A Cleric/Druid will just squash you after buffing himself

    A Bard will slowly twist your ethics, corrupt your morals, and make you do vile acts just for the chance to face him. When you fight him, he will have your family and friends fighting for him. For he wields the deadliest weapon against you and that is, his word against yours.

    I smell a training montage coming on. Offing the whole party, cloning your corpse, and battling your evil undead twins to power level is just wrong.

    This sound like a great idea, but why a morgh? An 18th level wizard can make a shadow, wraith, spectre, or a devourer.

    Your WBL would be crazy broked, though. And wights and the like are basically always the same CR, aren't they? despite the Hd of the victim?

    Limit of Contingency; The spell can't be greater than 1/3 your level, and a maximum of 6th level. So, while he could craft a greater undead, he couldn't contingency it.
