UPDATE MotB 1.10.1 (26.10.07: ADDED ANOTHER 7 BLUEPRINTS!)
19 additional creature and 8 item BPs using content from the 1st expansion. Included are 10 Skeletons, 5 Zombies, 3 Minor Lichs, 1 Death Angel, 2 Rusty/Rotten Shields and 5 Rusty/Rotten Weapons. Skeletons, Zombies, Shields and Weapons can be found in the same folders as in the original upload, Minor Lichs and Death Angel can be found in Undead/Custom Undead.
The Death Angel is a Level 12 undead who's a killer with the scythe and full of death-related special abilities.
I tried hard to include female versions of skeletons and zombies based on the Death Knight BP but there is no female(=slender)skull so gender is not always obvious. The Minor Lichs include 2 female versions because the (in)famous warlocks outfit "Leather 5" probably wont look right for all those who decided to .hak the original version.
For the new BPs level range is 4 to 8 and CRs range from 3.00 to 8.00. There are no magical weapons or equipment (the Minor Liches have been stripped of the stuff their big brother has).
Everything is fully customized including descriptions. Armor is (as usual) part of the BP and calculated as "natural armor" in the statistics tab.
I tested everything intensively and have to admit the caster AI is -as usual- very weak. Higher level spells get cast but even a Magical Missile seems to be an inapropriate choice in 8 out of 10 times.
*****Original Release Version 1.04****
61 creature blueprints and 47 item blueprints contained in an .erf file that can be imported into any module.
The 61 undead blueprints include about 24 Skeletons, 24 Zombies plus characters and some specials. Level range is 1 to 7. CRs have been calculated and range from 0.33 to 5.70 for Skeletons and from 0.50 to 6.60 for Zombies (including characters and specials).
In addition there are 47 rusty/rotten weapons and shields included. All these are tinted accordingly and include the following penalties: melee weapons -1 to hit/-1 dmg, ranged weapons -2 to hit (there is no dmg penalty possible for ranged weapons OR ammunition ) and finally -1 AC for all shields (yes, a small shield is just for show in that case). This serves the purpose to make armed undead less dangerous and provide weapons that �when made droppable- represent junk equipment that will only be used in very desperate situations. It can also enhance immersion in my opinion to find rusty/rotten stuff in tombs or ruins. Creatures in this package are ONLY equiped with these weapons/shields
The Undead Adventureres provide a kind of boss monsters and a plot idea: An NPC hires the PCs to search for a missing group of adventurers. It turns out they are not only dead but undead and to �release� their souls the PCs have to kill them. A kind of �soul-token� could be included in the quest as a drop to prove the unfortunate adventurer has been put to rest (Edit: the Undead Ranger is missing in the pictures in case you counted only 60 undead *gg)
The blueprints open up in Undead/Customized Skeletons, Undead/Customized Zombies, Items/Armor/Rusty Shields, Items/Weapons/Rusty Weapons and Items/Creature items/ (the later includes only the Rotten Giants Club and the Plague Claw)
The Undead Adventureres, Skeleton Characters and Special Undead all have maxed HPs(included in the CRs) the rest have the usual half HPs. ACs are set in the natural armor tab according to appearance. Localized description for special BPs are included. Spells AI is still bugged. All groups are individually tinted and scaled to provide variation.
The Icy Skeleton and Scorched Skeleton are a tribute to the original Everquest I played a long time ago. Check their special abilities, they are nasty stuff.
(UPDATED 26.10.07) 27 new blueprints using MotB content as an archived .erf file for fast download. If you only download this file some creatures will miss their weapons from the original upload.
Great stuff! Certainly eased the pain of making an undead army. I hope you put out more of these bp packs. They're fantastic. _________________________ E.C.Patterson Gaming Parents Studios Trinity, the NWN2 adventure : Download now.

excellently done undead, few flaws, very good idea to include gender-based undead. a wonderful addition to any module. _________________________ @===============================================@ Vinchenzo made a post here. Plz check out my entries. I'm currently making a few simple modules, designing 3 special characters, and hope to someday be good this stuff. This is Vinchenzo, finishing his post with the following advice: Don't use Latin improperly (Lupis means grey, Rufus is red, Canid is dog, so on.) Furries annoy me with their improper usage of such. And I'm a furry!!! Ugh... Don't vote for Beta things unless told they are finished, unless posted specifically by the author. Don't abuse the vote and post function, don't vote for your own/friends stuff just to get a high vote. Don't flame vote either just to be an ass. There is a voting system for how the points are used, even I forget, but we should follow it (and tattoo it to our forehead, lol) @===============================================@

One of my favorite packs yet, easy to modify and well done statwise, with very good appearances with attention to detail. _________________________ Talernon3 - Age of Dragons Link Talernon Team Submissions: Link 3C Music Compilation: Link

A must have is correct. Huge time saver!

**UPDATE NOTES** I decided to update the MotB file, otherwise I would have had to add a 3rd file for 7 additonal blueprints. That means that you'll have to download the file again but knowing that gave me also the opportunity to improve scaling,tinting and I also changed some of the equipment. Hope the new stuff&improvements will be worth the inconvenience :) _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)
