One additional ...Thanks for the comments everyone.<br /><br />One additional note. In B/X, wights only drain levels they don't give damage. Which means that a high level character would be almost unaffected by a wight draining 50XP per hit. All other draining undead in B/X and AD&D deliver damage plus energy drain. The AD&D wight give 1-4 damage plus drain. I would suggest the B/X wight gives likewise or 1-6 damage + drain.The Jovial Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160018433070823408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-68723688506990996712012-07-31T00:02:58.090+01:002012-07-31T00:02:58.090+01:00A really nice idea.

Instead each undead does a fixed amount, like minor drain = 100 xp, major drain =500 xp etc.<br /><br />To be honest, did not do this based on a player complaint, just never liked having to recalculate abilities and such on the fly during play.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231609275892907901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-56805773955256866262012-07-30T13:12:42.444+01:002012-07-30T13:12:42.444+01:00I really like that!I really like that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117441190387604775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887410874340004979.post-49896957155304150592012-07-30T12:53:08.623+01:002012-07-30T12:53:08.623+01:00I've thought about XP drain instead, although ...I've thought about XP drain instead, although I had thought the amount of XP drained would be as normal for Energy Drain, only PCs could keep their abilities. This idea is better, and keeps wights from wiping out tens of thousands of XP on a single hit against a Name level PC.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.com
