I dunno, there seem to be a few non-evil wizards here.
As for destroying the book, don't tell anyone but we're kinda worried it might actually be able to do what it claims and we were kind of hoping to offload it onto an actual evil wizard so he has to deal with the consequences.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands. Please send several extremely powerful paladins to escort it to the location I message to you. After all I have a former paladin fortress to house it in. I promise I won't murder your paladins and feed them to my eldritch abomination, while selling the spell book to a demon Lord for a couple of imps.

those are more 'guidelines'. If you're telling me I CAN'T draw upon the Dark Magicks from 28th Liminal Plane of The Elder Archetypon of Sorrow you might as well turn in your Evil Wizard Mantle. Everyone knows it's an Evil Wizard's job is to break the boundaries of ethereal law, sure... a few of our colleagues might accidentally unleash devastating horror, or get devoured by books... but we can't just keep relying on skeleton armies. You gotta think outside the scrying orb, man. Smoke some nightgrass, have a bit of moonwine, and disentwine the fabric of fate. That's why we all got in this business in the first place.

No, those things are totally permitted. Look at this guy. He doesn't even know what The Laws are! Capital T, Capital L, The Laws are the framework of unreality that allows magic to even be a thing. Amassing hideous eldritch power is totally encouraged.

If you don't know by now, my telling you won't help any, I guess.

Rutibex posted:

You're right, but one of the ways I derive my power is vague warnings about Keeping The Laws. It's more for me and my smug sense of self-satisfaction than for anything else. It's truly amazing what you can power if you know you're always right.

Well la dee da mister fancy pants. Thinks he's too good for skeletons eh? Some of us humble working class fellows have done pretty well with nothing more than *raise skeleton* and passing a couple well timed charisma checks. Skeletons are a classic for a reason

Skeletons are incredible. If anything, we've only scratched the surface of evil skeleton applications. I have a buddy doing a prestige in applied barding who has done incredible things. He's got a self-sustaining loop of skeletons playing skull drums. The evil drumming kills the living and animates the dead, the corpses rip off their skulls and use them as drums, yada yada, you get the idea. The best part is, it takes a single animate dead to get the thing running. That's it.

I know a lot of evil wizards aren't interested in anything bard-related, but musical evil is really coming into its own. There's a lot of bad will from the swamp prog era and it's easy to see why, but I encourage you to check our some of the new ideas. They're not all melee combat buffs from idiots with good hair.

you have to be careful with exponential skeleton growth. if you get to many together in one area they can spontaneously form into a sentient crypt golem, and then you have some problems

There is but they mostly just check that your castle has enough skulls, metal spikes at eye level, big winding unlit staircases without handrails, and if you don't have enough bodily fluids spilled on a catwalk over a bottomless pit to cause a fall hazard they cite you

Why settle for skeletons? Invest in golems. Sure they're way expensive but when intruders or hicks with torches and pitchforks come knocking the pants making GBS threads terror they induce is worth it.

There's nothing wrong with skeletons, heck, I have skeletons manning most of my castle at the moment... If you have a translocating castle that only appears every few moons (like I do), they phase in and out brilliantly. Good stuff... Crystals are great too, mean lol if you aren't backing up your malevolent soul magic on crystals these days...

Anyway... some knucklehead villagers decided to destroy a lodestone atop one of my favorite peaks... so I'm looking to phase in my castle to a different locale next full moon... can someone hook me up with a good spot? I'll unban you from my library. Namaste.

I supplement my Crystal guardians with the average goblin minions. You gotta a love the little guys. I think one of them is a member on SA.

Just remember NEVER teach them magic. Goblin shamans are cool and all but they always get too big for their britches and bugger off with a handful of your lessers.

That's a tough sell so close to spring harvest and planting season otherwise a fallow field would be perfect. Find an abandoned graveyard and restock on skeletons.

I usually go with inter-dimensional goblins, who pop into this plane of existence and pop out when their shift is done (they eat and poop back home mostly).

Problem is they're "independent contractors" and that is tax time nightmare (again not the fun kind of nightmare)

Hey guys I have a real problem. I used to be a death wizard who was prolonging his life through the use of a necromantic amulet, but just yesterday I accidentally mixed dragon's blood with ooze acid and well I've just darn near melted my whole body off. Does this mean I'm a lich now? I've always considered "boning up" but now I seriously have to face the consequences of this action and I'm worried that my A.D.W.A membership might be revoked. Any advice for what to do after an accidental lichification?

Well you should really have insurance set up in advance for this kind of thing but sounds like you just need to grow some flesh back which won't be too hard (expensive though).

Unless you want to go full lich in which case I'm hiring

if you havent put your soul into a phylactery you are not a lich dude you are like a honda civic with fake exhaust tips, get gud and come back when you have spilled an innocent life and used its soul essence to transfer your soul into a neato magical doohickey for some heroes to stumble across. god.
