How do I make zombies?

[AlphaStrike]

Not the kind of question one should ask at a dinner party, I know. But, in RQ how does a character go about it? I don't have the RQ Magic supplmement and guess there might be Rune of Undeath spells in there - is that the best way to go about it?

Tips from budding necromancers out there? (I realise that it's sentences like that which give our hobby a bad name!) :wink:

First start with a fresh corpse, make your own if you can't find any. Apply appropriate amounts of voodum rituals and chicken blood and Tadaa! You have a zombie.

Note, most contries have laws against making your own corpses. :twisted:

Well sometimes when a man zombie really likes a woman zombie...

1 oz light rum
1 oz golden rum
1 oz dark rum
1 oz apricot brandy
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz papaya juice
Dash of Grenadine or other syrup
1/2 oz 151-proof rum
Shake all ingredients except the 151-proof rum in a shaker with ice. Strain into a collins or hurricane glass filled with ice cubes. Float the 151-proof rum on top. Garnish with pineapple and cherry.

Had to add the humor LOL :wink:

One the spells (I think) Covers that, not sure what book though.

Two methods in RQ, both found in Cults of Glorantha 2, as I recall. Gark The Calm and his evil twin fake Godlearner lookalike both have methods of creating zombies.

The Cults of Gloranta have a Create Zombie and Create Skeleton as Divine spells.

A Sceaptune Games supplement (excuse the mention, please) have some Rune Magic/Petty-Magick relating to undead (see the sig).

Cults II also has a Create Undead Sorcery spell. It looks like the Magnitude of the spell equals the size of the corpse. I could imagine apprentice necromancers honing their skills re-animating small critters and body parts.
