PLAY THEM. HUNT THEM. BUILD A CAMPAIGN AROUND THEM.
Undead that remain relevant from the first outbreak to the final confrontation
The creatures in Elite Undead are designed to face an entire adventuring party. When the characters grow beyond one threat, that creature can return as an elite lieutenant serving a stronger villain later in the book. The result is a bestiary that can support a complete campaign instead of a collection of disconnected encounters.
Choose Your Path
Become a Colddeath Lich, Cryptsmith, Demilich, Blood Knight, Master Vampire, Shadowmist Vampire, Boneless Zombie, Meatshield, or Rottenwalker. Flexible subclasses support characters who hunt Elite Undead or serve them.
Face Elite Bosses
Challenge zombies that can bring down a city, vampires who control courts from the shadows, and liches whose plans threaten the world. Each major foe includes encounter tools, tactics, and thematic rewards.
Reward the Survivors
Equip characters with magical items, artifacts, and feats created for undead stories. Every Elite Undead entry includes treasure shaped around its theme, ready to reward victory or tempt the unwary.
A READY CAMPAIGN ARC
From a local outbreak to a world-changing ritual
Begin with zombies overwhelming a city or cursed kingdom. Reveal the vampires quietly gathering survivors into controlled havens. Then expose the lich cabal using that concentrated population as fuel for a ritual of ascension.
Use the framework as written, change any stage to fit your setting, or lift individual villains and encounters for an existing campaign. Supporting minions and downloadable battle maps make the material easy to bring to the table.
