since the magical wand has infinite magic missiles and does not really need to be recharged, a lot of wizards and powerful warlords would want it... I will mention though if the said improvement includes a downside with it (i.e. see undead labor force), so far the other chosen improvements has no real downsides.
your IC description would be helpful if you decide to personally go on a quest, so for example, being an elf ranger and you used a Covert Action to find a tunnel to the Underdark, there would be a chance you won't be detected if you do find it, however, if a drow patrol finds you... consider that a bad end...
Can I assume that the downside is balanced a bit by the upside since in the case of my undead labor force that is going to be a massive increase in productivity for pretty much negligible upkeep cost. The main downside is the PR issues.
Fairs. But doing such a risky thing is not really on my to-do list without having some quality back-up.your IC description would be helpful if you decide to go on a Quest, so for example, being an elf ranger and you used a Covert Action to find a tunnel to the Underdark, there would be a chance you won't be detected if you do find it, however, if a drow patrol finds you... consider that a bad end...
That would be very helpful. It would also be helpful I think if none of the undead are armed, and we don't use them too overtly. Like, maybe use them for the out of sight, out of mind jobs like the mines etc
That's the idea, although if I do get them to do jobs where people can see them I will have them wear heavy coverings. Plus one of my first actions will be looking into better preservation methods.
We are still open.
Well we are right next to the Long Road which I assume is a major trade route so you could likely make good money just escorting merchants up and down it or clearing out bandits. I'll probably request a few of the less damaged corpses from the stronger foes you fight for my experiments.
Also true. Having consistent patrols would do wonders for trade. That would be unsettling, and Farora might not agree to bring them, depending on how well our characters know each other. After all, it's not really honourable to desecrate the bodies of your foes. After all, we're not orcs.
Well my character would make it no secret that he practices Necromancy. As for how well they know each other my character has a rather practical mindset who believes that life should be preserved and would gladly sacrifice a dozen undead for a single living person.
This would do a lot of assuage Farora's fears, but until they know each other fairly well, I can still imagine her being somewhat leery of the idea.
Oh most certainly, at the moment I mostly plan on setting up systems to get a steady stream of undead workers that are perfectly lawful and moral. Such as my life insurance idea and the like, although I do plan on having it so that criminals who are put to death are then raised as workers until their debt to society has been repaid.
Bladepoint has applicants for Commander, Artificer, Wright and 2 Scholars.
Thanks, hopefully we can get productivity to go through the roof off the backs of undead labor.
