Create Undead?

[kjohnson1990]

I seem to have a problem with the spell "Create Undead", It seems the tooltip has changed and renamed it to "Abuse Torq"


Any comments?

EDIT:

I'm a little ashamed that i've never thought of this before. lol. Using the ghouls as a means to replinish mana.

There are 3 applications of Create undead. Maybe 4 if you are creative:
Torc/concord abuse
Killing pikers
Activating pressure switches when shortman-ing.
And finally, Mummy abilities.

All of them are old news. I would like for it to become...you know...a spell people use to get a temporary pet that fights enemies, but it looks like the devs like the torc abuse/piker killer idea more. Hurrah!

Yeah but where do you think all those loose undead in quests come from? :P

Wonder where's the animate dead spell.

p.s. Anyways, according to some PnP texts it is the clerics that get the most out of necromancy.
(see the necromancer's book, and is mentioned as one reason arcanes look into pale master too)
Thing is clerics innately control undead and thus not care about letting the spell do it.
(with control of powerful undead being difficult, so animate dead makes weak undead and summon undead is summon)

A whole new world has just opened up to me...

too bad it can't be scrolled (or rather, too bad scrolls can't be bought from a vendor). i'd be surprised if they failed even a single save against that DC (but then, i suppose everything rolls a 1 every now and then)
