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.
Well....there is nothing to do with the Demi-Lich except for a "Flaming Skull" or similar - but I've done that allready with the Scorched/Icy Skeleton. I've done some corrections and additions instead (upload of files and pics under way) and I did put up an "idea" to the vault.... _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)

Oh, yeah! We need some Demi liches. Of course there's only so much customization you can do with a flying skull... _________________________ Mokah - The Grumpy Strumpet || Dear Strumpet Letters || Jabberwocky Development Blog || Vertex I - The State of the Union ||

Thanks for the kind words and the votes :) I'm glad you like the new stuff. I'll try to update all my contributions but it'll take a while because there's so much new in MotB to toy with ^^ _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)

In case someone notices the lack of armor parts (like bracers, shoulder pads etc.) on the new female undead: The "Death Knight" blueprint they are based on has all those armor parts out of place if switched to female. I also found that for cloaks in the wing slot most male versions work on female blueprints. _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)

I've started allready on these - female skellies and new Lichs are under construction :) _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)

I finally have MotB and will both check the BPs and update with any new stuff that's usefull. I allready have some ideas but since I'll have to take care of all my uploads it will take some time. If any of you allready encountered some errors since running MotB, please let me know (email in my profile). Thanks for your patience. _________________________ In case you find my grammar/spelling weird sometimes -----> native german speaker ;-)
