Yeah, be undead and watch people bitch about how imbalanced WotF is, then at the same time say we should go back to the OLD undead so their undead specific spells can hurt us again! (Old undead had perma-immunity to fear, charm, and sleep, where WotF is only 20 seconds)
Hell yeah! Sounds pretty balanced to me, as long as you have easily obtainable weapons or spells for each class that are strong against undead.
Paladins and Priests OWNED Undead, as they were classified AS Undead for spell effects, not Humanoid.
To be honest, I think the changes were made more for the protection of the UNDEAD. Seriously, 25% of the classes available to the Alliance had the ability to completely STOMP you and you couldn't do anything about it, really.
Paladins with 'Sense Undead', Exorcism, and Priests with Shackle Undead. Seriously.
IMO, that's okay, as long as the advantages of being undead are good enough. I would think not being able to be removed from combat and being able to flee into water would be good enough, but if not, you could add a regeneration racial.
Well, Undead were a complete victim to Priests and Paladins. Warlocks were a complete victim to them, and they had good abilities again Mages and Priests as well.
I think I like the current system better. Everyone has a good, fighting chance.
