The undead are beings in mythology, legend, or fiction that are deceased but behave as if alive. Most commonly the term refers to corporeal forms of formerly alive humans, such as mummies, vampires, and zombies, which have been reanimated by supernatural means, technology, or disease. In some cases (for example, in Dungeons & Dragons), the term also includes incorporeal forms of the dead, such as ghosts.
The undead are featured in the belief systems of most cultures, and appear in many works of fantasy and horror fiction. The term is also occasionally used for real-life attempts to resurrect the dead with science and technology, from early experiments like Robert E. Cornish's to future sciences such as "chemical brain preservation" and "cryonics."
Bram Stoker considered using the title, The Un-Dead, for his novel Dracula (1897), and use of the term in the novel is mostly responsible for the modern sense of the word. The word does appear in English before Stoker but with the more literal sense of "alive" or "not dead", for which citations can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary. In one passage of Dracula, Nosferatu is given as an "Eastern European" synonym for "un-dead".[1]
Stoker's use of the term "undead" refers only to vampires; the extension to other types of supernatural beings arose later. Most commonly, it is now taken to refer to supernatural beings which had at one point been alive and continue to display some aspects of life after death, but the usage is highly variable.[2]
Other notable 19th-century stories about the avenging undead included Ambrose Bierce's The Death of Halpin Frayser,[3] and various Gothic Romanticism tales by Edgar Allan Poe. Though their works could not be properly considered zombie fiction, the supernatural tales of Bierce and Poe would prove influential on later writers such as H. P. Lovecraft, by Lovecraft's own admission.[4] In Russia, the undead was the theme of Alexander Belyaev's novel Professor Dowell's Head (1925), in which a mad scientist performs experimental head transplants on bodies stolen from the morgue, and reanimates the corpses.
There is no plans to charge for it in the future. They removed it because the skeletons from witch doctor are simply terrible, and replaced with zombies in 3.0. Progress through your sorcery path to regain undead
Having started a new Carrion Crown Ap. One of the player has a Witch. Being the DM the player wonders if Hexes work on the undead. As many of them are mind-affecting effects. With undead being mostly immune. Or am I wrong?
Good suggestion Anyzr. Not sure if the Paladin in the group would be ok with the arctype. As well it seems more suitable to a villain and not a PC IMO. Still with the right group and DM it would be interesting to play.
+1 for Healing Hex. It doesn't scale very well, but at low levels, it's an infinite use (1/undead) attack method bypassing DR that does okay damage. There aren't many infinite-use reliable attack options vs undead for low-level full casters that beat healing hex. Heavy crossbows generally fail vs DR/slashing or bludgeoning. Also, it's precious healing. Cure Light Wounds is a lot of HP for a level 1 PC.
Misfortune works at lower levels, and cackle extends it. Healing hex works, although it's a bit limited. Prehensile hair can be used to deliver spells at range. Fortune and Ward are useful to buff party members to help them destroy undead. If the undead in question uses weapons, like a skeletal champion, peacebond can keep the weapons from being drawn. Soothsayer is a good hex to make the most use of Misfortune. At higher levels, Retribution will work to return some damage to creatures that are hurting your party, and can be used to get past pesky DR.
I would not say you are screwed. Low level has the healing hex witch can be combined with persile hair for a nice ranged touch attack. Misfortune works, not sure about evil eye... I'd say no. At higher levels you get a greater healing hex or Ice Tomb, which should work just fine.
As this is about hexes:
Do hexes ignore ignore SR? (I think they do but am not certain)
What do you need that hexes can work?
Not too certain of that one. You do need line of sight, so blinding should affect you in some way. No movement necessary, so grapple should not affect you (or does it?). Do you need to speak, I think you don't so silence doesn't do anything(probably?)
Does armor affect hexes?
I don't think so. 'f the spell lacks a somatic component, however, it can be cast with no chance of arcane spell failure.' If a hex can be cast without a word it has NO arcane spell failure chance. It does affact your initiative, as it is a dex ability check(a feat could change that). Goes a bit against the class, though might be a fun idea. Wasn't there a variant that used con as casting stat? (Witchdoctor I think)
High physical attributes, heavy armor, but IS an arcane caster...
I had a lot of fun playing a witch, even when the campaign ended up fighting a lot of undead. At that point, you need to use your hexes to aid your allies (War, Healing, Fortune/Misfortune, Retribution at higher levels), and mostly use spells on the undead.
Unfortunately, a lot of your spells are ALSO worthless against undead. :( But mostly isn't all, and witches are prepared casters, so your spell selection is a good night's sleep away from making the undead wish they were REALLY dead. Bestow Curse and direct damage still work, Chill Touch makes undead flee, and Summon Monsters don't care what you summon them to kill.
Armor doesn't affect Hexes - they're (su) abilities, which don't need gestures or words to use (I believe the devs have ruled that you DO need to be able to speak to use Cackle, though). As (su) abilities, Hexes ignore spell resistance.
Most hexes are supernatural. A few are spell-like, but I don't think most of those are combat offensive type hexes. Supernatural abilities ignore spell resistance entirely. They also have no arcane spell failure chance, as they aren't arcane spells. Grappling doesn't stop hexes, but you do generally need line of sight, although some hexes bypass this.
Scarred Witch Doctor is a Con-based caster, mostly, but is Orc only. Some permissive GMs will allow a half-orc to take the class. Half-orcs are allowed to take feats and other things for orcs because they count as orcs for such things. AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) Just a Guess May 25, 2015, 01:38 am Lots of spells on the witch list work on undead.
I once played through a big dungeon full of undead with a witch and had few problems.
At low levels chill touch can work well.
So death coil can heal an undead ally as stated in the tool tip, now you can make yourself undead for 10sec with Lichborne. So here is my question.
Why does the death coil not work on an undead character. They are undead right? so why does the spell not work for them?
Undead covers everything from subtle hauntings to undead necromancers, from Gothic vampires to the brain-eating zombies of the B-movies. Inside you'll find a history of the undead, guidelines for creating your own undead (including animals, plants, microbes, and even vehicles), and a dozen classic undead archetypes with variants and sample characters. You'll also get extensive advice on how to use the undead dramatically as scenery, plot devices, monsters, villains, or heroes. In addition, Undead features discussions of many related topics, including tombs, death gods, embalming, funerary rites, grave robbery, necromancy, pathology, souls, the afterlife, spells, symbolism, and more. In short, everything you need to inject new life into your undead.
Can we please have upright forsaken models? This has been a feature that people have wanted for years. I know i have done my fair share of tweeting @warcraftdevs and @watcherdev to include this feature. There really cant be much that needs to be done to make this happen. They are standing upright outside of Dazaralor in Zandalar, and the undead stand upright when you /salute.
For as long as recording and communications technologies have existed, operators have evoked the potential of sound, infrasound, and ultrasound to access anomalous zones of transmission between the realms of the living and the dead. In Unsound:Undead, contributors from a variety of disciplines chart these undead zones, mapping out a nonlinear timeline populated by sonic events stretching from the 8th century BC (the song of the Sirens), to 2013 (acoustic levitation), with a speculative extension into 2057 (the emergence of holographic and holosonic phenomena).
For the past seven years the AUDINT group has been researching peripheral sonic perception (unsound) and the ways in which frequencies are utilized to modulate our understanding of presence/non-presence, entertainment/torture, and ultimately life/death. Concurrently, themes of hauntology have inflected the musical zeitgeist, resonating with the notion of a general cultural malaise and a reinvestment in traces of lost futures inhabiting the present.
This undead culture has already spawned a Lazarus economy in which Tupac, ODB, and Eazy-E are digitally revivified as laser-lit holograms. The obscure otherworldly dimensions of sound have also been explored in the sonic fictions produced by the likes of Drexciya, Sun Ra, and Underground Resistance, where hauntology is virtually extended: the future appears in the cracks of the present.
The contributions to this volume reveal how the sonic nurtures new dimensions in which the real and the imagined (fictional, hyperstitional, speculative) bleed into one another, where actual sonic events collide with spatiotemporal anomalies and time-travelling entities, and where the unsound serves to summon the undead.
