[MECHANICS] Undead

I did an experiment recently and noticed that "living" creatures, for some reason, have more stamina than undead. In my opinion this is an odd reversal... something that must sleep, eat, drink, etc. can do more and carry more than an animated corpse that is nothing more than something dead that has been reanimated with magic.

F.E. Julthain had a pack animal that was pulling a cart, it was tiring too soon for his tastes, so he killed it and reanimated it. After reanimation, he found that the pack animal tired even faster, taking thirty percent of its energy for tasks that used to consume six percent.

Undead have 0 constitution score, removing all constitution bonus. In PnP this mostly only applies to HP - in FK con also applies to stamina, which may be a large undergoing forgoing that requirement on all undead.

Try casting fly on your mule instead of killing him next time. :wink:

But seriously, interesting suggestion. I think it is a minor point in a much larger issue though: Minions that pull carts get tired far too quickly.
