Im pretty new at this game so forgive me if this is not new, but my first run through as evil turned up an intresting thing. Evil cleric can command undead, and gain them as party members above the character limit, sadly tho, if you try and heal a damaged one, and it fails itrs save, it takes the heal as damage instaed!.
You need to use the "inflict" spells to heal the undead, use negative energy. Also bless doesn't work on them. You can use the heal spells as a touch attack vs undead in the game.
Of course!, now why did i not think of that!. Heal them now, My Lord, wispers the imp on my shoulder.......and ill stab them in the back for you....
And remember that evil clerics shall expontaniously. Just hold Shft when selection a spell on the radial menu and voilá. This increases a lot the possibilities os spells a cleric shall use!
It appears there is no limit to the number of undead, or HD of undead, that an evil cleric can command and have as underlings, ive got a 3 Lvl with Feat of extra level, and 10 skels and Gnoll skel, to use as fodder. Does anyone know if there is a cap?. Is this as intended?, known limit of the game engine?, as the rules limit control to HD equal to Clerical level. Should i build my army now?, before you stop it getting out of hand!, as i dont really see a down side ( loss of exp from not killing them) can be ofset by resting in the wild. Anyways, loads of fun, Mathiel lost his Gnoll to me, and then hit him fora critical!, just when i thought it could not get any beter!, ive got a Gnoll!, and then wack, look at me boss, i do good....
Just re read the Atari game manual on followers and undead rebuke for Evil alignmnet, and it gives no cap. Is it your experience that once 10 Party cap is reached, the resy are cowered only?.
Try resting the the Meadows, mostly undead random encounters, and let us know how many you can get. Screen shot would be good too!
