Which is one of the things i do not like about 4E. Animating the undead has long been a trope in D&D and players should have the option to do it as well. It seems pointless to me to detail the lich transformation ritual and vampire creation ritual and then leave animating corpses in the realm of DM handwaving. Then again I want to play a priest of Orcus so perhaps I am in the minority :) “You’re going to be dissapointed as a player if you’re looking for ways to raise undead.”
