    Undead Type

    Hello, is there a formula to calculating the Undead Type from AD&D or other OSR sources?

    cheers

    Step three on p252 under turn undead kinda gives you free reign on the Undead Type. Generally it relates to the Hit Die then +/- based on powers and significance of the creature.  The Vampire has 9 HD but a UT of 11 based on the other major powers this creature has.

    The short answer is that there is no hard and fast rule but you can use current undead entries as a guide.

    “How can I wear the harness of toil
    And sweat at the daily round,
    While in my soul forever
    The drums of Pictdom sound?”
