Ya, Palladium's limb graft system is pretty sweet, infact their Necro (in PFRGP) is realy cool but not a very PC friendly class.  I think that just shows the flexability of Palladium's magic system which I've allwayse thought as better then D&Ds.

Also, I'm suprised EUOL hasn't got his undead hands on this book yet.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.

That's because it's at my house. I'll bring it over sometime, though.

Libris Mortis is cool.  I'm glad you gave the Swarmshifter template a mention.  The Necropolition is also a cool template, since it lets you play an undead character with no level adjustment.

Did you link to this review somewhere Fell?. edit just noticed it was on enworld.  It jumped about 10x in page views our adverage reviews get in just a day or two.

I finally picked this up and am happy I did.  Lot's of neat stuff in it.  I completely agree with the review...the non-crunchy bits are weak, but the crunchy bits are fun.

It's of great use to my Eberron campaign given that my players all hail from Karnath.  They might have some eeeevil surprises awaiting them ahead.

Sometime in the future I might just run a game using the vampire spawn class.  Think of it.  A group of heroes hear of trouble in an ancient keep and rush to find the problem (as usual).  They then get killed by a master vamp and become his minions.  So they're sent to do his bidding.  Do they follow orders?  Do they seek redemption?   Could be a lot of fun.

Oh my goodness, that does sound like a good idea. I may just have to steal it for my upcoming warhammer campaign - its meant to be the party seeking revenge from the elector count whose working for the skaven, but that would be so hysterically funny to pull on them.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
