Civilians are great cannon fodder though. Good for target practice. :D

I don\'t agree. I mean, anyone can kill people. This particular necromancer is just doing it creatively. Anyway, a murderer is a murderer. Whoever this husband-reanimator is, he\'s a criminal who gives a bad name to necromancers.
I\'m right, and if you disagree with me, you\'re wrong. Simple as that.

lol, he a criminal, but as most necromancers have a bad name, it doesn\'t make much difference to there reputation. (And don\'t say u\'r gonna be a \'good\' necromancer dancing the happyhappyjoyjoy or summin.) :D

I\'m not offended, lol. :D  
And in my opinion all necros are criminals (sorta), as most people would think that using the dead body as a puppet is a crime.

Well, is using a puppet as a puppet a crime? I mean, who owns the body? It\'s just a thing in people\'s heads, because fantasy stories have so long portrayed necromancers as overrunning villages with armies of undead.
Davis, get over here and post, I need more support here.

I think that I have said all that needs to be said. If you are dead, what do you care about your body?

I don\'t think there are any moral objections to necromancery in Yliakum.  Bodies are merely discarded through the \"bottomless\" trash shafts without any ritual ceremonies.  If you can get your hands on a corpse before its dropped through the shaft, I don\'t see any reason why you can\'t use it if such magic is indeed availible.

In short, in Yliakum, being a necromancer doesn\'t imply that you\'re evil.

ok, so u\'d be fine for u\'r dead parents, or wife/husband\'s bodies to be used as puppets in a battle? I think most wouldn\'t.

Well, that\'s a difficult question.  In Yliakum, most races consider a corpse just an empty vessel, that is, without a soul; if this was the case, I\'m reasonably sure there wouldn\'t be any special exception to this scenerio, no.

It doesn\'t have to imply anything, other than the fact that you like to play with life-sized, rotting action figures.  In Yliakum, based on all my knowledge of the setting, it is possible for a Necromancer to be \"Good\".  Naturally, there\'s a certain stigma to being a Necromancer, but that\'s mainly on the player\'s end due to their long conditioning that Necromancers are Evil.  I think it would be rather fun to play a Necromancer in this setting...

Personally I don\'t care if people think that necromancers have to be evil... I play my character the way I want to play him, and don\'t give a damn about any alignments...  You may then call me good or evil, just as long as I am not trapped inside some stupid moral box...

Well said!!! :D

And I suppose a necromancer who uses his undead corpse slaves for a good intention isn\'t that evil, lol.

bah, mages that play with death fall into dementia. Don\'t expect them to do anything good.

so they can:
a) steal corpse
b) get a fresh one ;)
both sound evil to me :P

generally necromancy is evil, since it\'s highly connected to murdering.
