So in my current campaign my players are currently preparing a city for an onslaught of undead rallied by a lich lord and I’ve been brewing up some more deadly and challenging zombies for them to go against and here’s the result so far! Took some nods from the Sliver stat block I made a while back for this one. Hope you enjoy!

The best part of this is that the explanation is even sillier:
these aren’t even a “race” of khajit, they’re just regular khajit. Whether khajit end up like housecats or humans or a fucking lion is solely determined by what phase of the moons they’re born under.

So, you could be practically human, your sister could be a frickin smilodon, and your parents could just be housecats?

Hands down the best worldbuilding ever made; all other worldbuilding is cancelled forever
This is the only thing we need
Could you imagine telling your sister, who just wants you to open the tuna, neener neener neener who doesn’t have any thumbs?
Or “DAD. NEEDLE TOES, COME ON!”
You know this happens daily in so many Khajit households

What does one even say to this

“Pspspspspspsp” generally.
There’s actually a quest in ESO where a Khajit asks you to rescue his daughter, with all the above lore fully known you arent too shocked when the evidence suggests his daughter is one of the housecat sized khajit. You later find out however, that he is a literal crazy cat man, his actual daughter finds you, she is humanoid, and explains the ‘daughter’ he wants you to find is just a house cat, and that her father’s cats are the reason her mother and her dont really speak with him anymore. You do still rescue his cat.
In the entire history of attempted necromancy, is there any recorded evidence of someone getting close to raising the dead?
Depends on your definitions of “necromancy,”. “close,” “raising,” and “the dead.”
There were actually scientific experiments done on hanged men in the 1800s where electricity was in fact able to temporarily produce a pulse, opened eyes, and reflexive breathing several hours after death, and some witnesses to these experiments claimed to see some amount of awareness in the eyes when opened. However, there is no indication that any kind of sapience returned to the body, nor that reports of “awareness” were true and accurate.
(I learned about this from Kaz Rowe, I do not remember which video, just go watch her on YouTube and learn some stuff because she’s cool and you’ll stumble across it.)
In medical terms, though, yeah, we raise the dead all the time. There are two kinds of death: brain death (all electrical signals in the brain have ceased, you are no more, you have ceased to be, you are an ex-brain), and clinical death (your heart and lungs have decided to say “fuck it”). Brain death cannot be reversed. You can force someone’s body to continue producing signs of “life” for awhile through the use of machines, but this is really only of any use for a couple of hours, and only to allow harvesting of organs for donation. Some people will say it’s also to allow the family to say their last goodbyes, but the truth is, you’re talking to a corpse that’s artificially breathing. There is nothing you can say after brain death that will be heard or recognized by your loved one. They’re gone. It’s no different than speaking to them when they’re in the casket.
CLINICAL death, however, is different. In clinical death, the electrical signals to cause heartbeat and respiration still exist in the brain, they’re just not getting through. This can happen for all kinds of reasons. I like to say “I died when I was eight months old” because it sounds super-dramatic, but the truth is, it was this kind of death. They got me hooked up to oxygen and my heart restarted in less than a minute, and then started me on medication to remove the allergen that caused all this drama. I died 34 years ago and here I sit, eating chocolate chips and talking about different kinds of dead.
So to borrow a great phrase from a great movie, there’s dead-dead and there’s mostly dead. If you’re clinically dead, you’re just mostly dead. CPR, mouth-to-mouth, a heart-lung machine, shock paddles, a respirator, or in some dramatic cases an organ transplant, can be used to bring you back to life, and as long as the medics got to you in time, there will be few to no lasting side effects. But if you’re brain dead, you’re dead-dead, and there’s only one thing we can do: go through your pockets and look for loose change.
So: in the history of necromancy, is there recorded evidence of anyone getting close to raising the dead? From clinical death, yeah. Happens frequently, although the raising involves relatively few skulls and chants. From brain death? Well…that depends on what you believe about half a dozen sensational experiments designed to make hanged men talk.
Haha! New class time! I present: the Gravinant! Harness the power of the cosmos and become master of the universe! I hope you enjoy this new class!

Vorx begins to wonder if it has been some kind of cruel dream. He begins to wonder if the newcomer was a phantom sent from the heights, just another trick played by this world that loathes them. But then the cowled figure re-emerges, unbowed, tall as a sheaf of uncut corn. He looks barely troubled by his exertions. His hood has fallen back a little, revealing grey, smooth flesh. It is the most beautiful face Vorx has ever seen – like theirs, but as hard and clean as a stone.

I made this months ago and had to keep quiet about it – but my party finally met an important NPC. I had to draw art of my triton oracle – Una!
The baby so far 🐉 still got a few bits to add but Im quite happy with it so far
A succubus but instead of stealing your soul through sex she kisses you and your wallet disappears
She may have just been a pickpocket idk it was dark
Good try but this is already a 6 month old flop post
if I had a wrestling persona they would be part demon part pharmacist and their name would be DVS (like CVS but pronounced Devious) and their catchphrase would be Welcome To The Harmacy

Did this person get their idea of DnD combat from the 3.5 grappling rules?
Love to say “only straight white men can do maths and solve complex puzzles” in more words and claim I am being progressive.
