that sounds really cool

I'm more curious if they have to worry about decompostion. If they do, how will that affect their stats? And with the telepathy thing, how will that change the typical RP? Will I still be able to do stuff or will I have to always think and post with the rest of my pack?

i like the idea with the linked mind, myself Razz

No decomposition. They're not that kind of zombie, just mindless beasts.

After bite:

Hour 1- A rash appears on area of bite, purple in color.

Hour 17- Person becomes easily exhausted.

Hour 26 - Sickness and vomiting occurs. Large headache is felt.

Hour 30- Shivering is added to the current effects.

Hour 34- Person goes comatose.

Hour 42- Reanimation occurs.

The person is still alive, just not human anymore.

so pretty much, can the like smartest ones in a pack do rational thinking or no?

by **Bubba Jones** May 15th 2011, 8:39 pm

Can slightly robotic people be affected...because my new char will have a robotic arm and nanobots all over his body.

I'm not sure. I think there would be literally no self in a zombie pack, so the hive mind thinks, not individuals.

by **Archer Roland** May 15th 2011, 10:06 pm

This is totally up to you since this is your thing but it'd probably be alot easier if we didn't do the hive mind thing so people can RP as zombies. We could keep the telepathy though, that's a really cool idea I think.

by Guest May 15th 2011, 10:45 pm

OK, people can rp as zombies. Now they'll merely have telepathy.

However, all rping as zombies take 2 hits to their INT. People with 1 EP or 0 EP go to 0.

by **The Cowboy** May 15th 2011, 11:48 pm

I can understand the INT hit but maybe if it were only one or they become evil and have to eat people to satisfy hunger. Or characters with INT over five would be able to think well enough, and be able to fight the urge, that they can simply eat animals. Again this is simply a question in the hopes that we can flesh it out a little bit more, and so I can get a deeper understanding.

I went with -2 INT, because this means that normal people (normal humans have 2 INT) will become mindless monsters. Also, people can still think well enough. A person with 5 INT will become 3 INT, which is above average intelligence.

by **Archer Roland** May 16th 2011, 7:37 pm

Okay makes sense to me and it sounds fair. Just out of curiosity how will people with two or lower INT be affected, I simply ask for the sake of the other players since I have no, and do not, intend to have a character with an intelligence lower than three. Will they simply be set to as low as zero?

Opps, I forgot that was stated. I do that sometimes. My mistake.

by Guest May 17th 2011, 12:36 am

No biggie.

by Guest May 18th 2011, 7:10 pm

Any more suggestions or questions? Or should I begin?
