A party member gets hurt, his cloaked friend taps his feet, wiggles his hips slightly and begins to point at yhe person and the sky alternatively. All the while he shouts "Ah hah hah ha, stay alive, stay alive. "

Lore wise the reasons for Sentient undead is wide and varied. In the original version Harrow was raised by several of his fellow Magi after he was purposefully killed, however he had refused to remember some of the events that had transpired.
We had a character (I think made by Hibou) who was raised by some kind of fungus or something like that.
And some of them are simply dead who refuse ot enter the gates of death and instead force their way back to life(usually pissing off a god or two in the process).
so a rare form of Lichen would work too.

Again, pretty well free form here, so feel free to write up lore if you want. I'll be posting a sheet tomorrow.


Magic techniques I've made
Mage Tongue (all users are born with an innate affinity to magic)
A complicated language that harness the power of the world around the magi and focuses it into the desired effect. often spells require chanting or a quick, precise sentence. Chanting can take a half minute to multiple hours, even days depending on the spell.

Death Tongue (all users are born with an innate affinity to magic)
To be a Death Tongue requires several years of devotion followed by a ritual in which they remove the acolytes tongue. Death Tongues devote their lives, bodies, and souls to their work, and as they practice their art they become more proficient. However some of the most powerful spells require days of meditation and ceremony.

Scholar Magic
Years and years of study have enabled those whom aren't naturally capable. This often requires ingredients and a device through which to channel this power. These are often staffs or wands. Their most powerful spells take days of ceremony and preparation to work.


And of course you could make your own.

The tribal magic of dancing... I like it.
There is probably no more terrible instance of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man — with human flesh.

Name: Ragnan
Race: Horrifying Abomination
Age: ???
Appearance: Umm... Ok, lets start with whole-body features, then work our way from the head down. Ragnan has thick chitin skin, with slime oozing off of it, leaving a trail behind him. It seems to let him walk through webs. Many quills run along his body, acting as a self-defense system from melee attacks. A noticeable odor resonates from Ragnan. This same odor seems to act as a weak pheromone, making many insects identify him as an ally. The back of Ragnan's head bulges slightly, and he has a pair sphinx-like ears at the top of his head, and small, pointy horns sprouting slightly below them. He has a pair of large, red compound eyes, like those of a fly. He has simple dog-like whiskers, and his mouth protrudes slightly out from his face, surround by tentacles and flaps, along with sharp, venomous fangs within his mouth. A pair of gills run along his neck. On the back of his torso, he has a pair of beautiful butterfly wings, seeming out of place from the rest of his body. Near his buttox is tail with a sharp tip at the end, carrying deadly venom. Instead of fingers, he has sharp, gnarly claws. An acidic slime oozes from his hands. In the middle of his torso are a pair of thin insect-like limbs, only useful for carrying objects, and not much else. His feet to seem more padded and calloused then most people's.

tl;dr: He is a horrifying abomination. Luckily for those around him, he wears a concealing leather cloak at all times.
Armor/clothes: Thick leather cloak w/ ahood. Goes all the way from the head to the feet, with an extra inch or two dragging along the ground. Has many pockets.
Weapons: Steel bagh naka. Venomous fangs/tail, sharp claws, and small horns.
Background: Probably the result of a mage's spell gone horribly wrong. His unimaginably horrifying appearance has led some tribes of varying races to worship him as a god/demon, though. Chances are, whatever his origin is, nobody truly wants to know.

Good thing I don't have a sense of smell. My bony ass was dead for 220 years so smell is the least of my concerns.

well, we arrive whenever, we go in, we explore, and then it's pretty well anything after that. It's free form, so if you want something to happen make it happen, just no pulling a goblin army out of your ass or anything TOO ridiculous.
